Brave the Storm
Shy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a strange feeling in the air tonight
We look for doors to put us far out of sight
You can forget just for a little while
But you can't hide the truth behind that smile
As the surge hits you and you see things my way
Hope just isn't enough when there's no time to pray

There's a sky above us and a sea below
But there'll be nothing at the end of the show
Stand to attention, fight on, you'll never know
You've got to man the stations for tomorrow

Brave the storm, brave the storm
We'll take force to straighten out
But that's what it's all about
So, brave the storm, brave the storm
I see a long hard journey out there
But that is what it's about

We climb the stairs of our destiny
And demand a future for you and for me
Final victory only comes with the key
And the blind can't fight without their eyes to see

Brave the storm, brave the storm
We'll take force to straighten out
But that's what it's all about
So, brave the storm, brave the storm
I see a long hard journey out there
But that is what it's about

The people are calling
It's a time to change
If you're too strong to go falling
You'll never be the same again

It's a brave new world, now you've made your stand
Another leaf is turned in the book of the land
As the guard stands tall and the story closes
Well, the tears well up as we hear the call

Brave the storm, brave the storm
We'll take force to straighten out
But that's what it's all about
So, brave the storm, brave the storm
I see a long hard journey out there
But that is what it's about

Brave the storm, brave the storm
Brave the storm, brave the storm
You've got to see things my way
'Cause there's no time today
You've got to see things my way
To brave the storm

Brave the storm, brave the storm
Brave the storm, brave the storm

Somebody
It's time you brave the storm




Listen, somebody
It's time you brave the storm

Line by Line Meaning

There's a strange feeling in the air tonight
There is an unusual feeling in the atmosphere tonight


We look for doors to put us far out of sight
We search for places to hide ourselves


You can forget just for a little while
It is possible to forget temporarily


But you can't hide the truth behind that smile
A smile cannot conceal the truth


As the surge hits you and you see things my way
When you experience a strong emotion and understand my perspective


Hope just isn't enough when there's no time to pray
In dire times, merely hoping for a better outcome is inadequate


There's a sky above us and a sea below
There is an endless expanse above and beneath us


But there'll be nothing at the end of the show
At the end of it all, there is nothing to gain


Stand to attention, fight on, you'll never know
Stay alert, keep going, you never know what the future holds


You've got to man the stations for tomorrow
You must operate the equipment for tomorrow's activities


We climb the stairs of our destiny
We are ascending the steps of our fate


And demand a future for you and for me
We are asking for a future for us both


Final victory only comes with the key
The ultimate win can only be achieved with the key


And the blind can't fight without their eyes to see
The blind cannot win if they cannot see


The people are calling
The masses are asking for change


It's a time to change
It is a moment to transform


If you're too strong to go falling
If you are too resilient to fail


You'll never be the same again
You will be altered permanently


It's a brave new world, now you've made your stand
It is now a courageous new world after you have taken a stance


Another leaf is turned in the book of the land
Another chapter is added to the history of the place


As the guard stands tall and the story closes
As the guardian watches vigilantly and the story comes to an end


Well, the tears well up as we hear the call
The tears accumulate when we hear the call


You've got to see things my way
You must perceive things from my viewpoint


'Cause there's no time today
Because there is no time left today


Brave the storm, brave the storm
Face the challenge, face the challenge


We'll take force to straighten out
We will require strength to fix things


But that's what it's all about
But that is the purpose of everything


So, brave the storm, brave the storm
Therefore, confront the challenge, confront the challenge


I see a long hard journey out there
I am aware that there is a long and difficult journey awaiting us


But that is what it's about
However, that is what it means to overcome challenges

Damm, Alan Kelly is a great drummer, it is sad that Tony and Alan couldn't work together, add Roy and Steve Harris and it is pretty awsome.
