r. kelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And couldn't see the light
And whenever I'd look up
I couldn't see the sky
Sometimes when I'm standin'
It seems like I done walked for miles
And my heart could be cryin'
Dead in the middle of a smile
But then I climbed the hills
And saw the mountains
I hollered help 'cause I was lost
Then I felt the strong wind
Heard a small voice sayin'
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Come on and set me free, whoa
Now in the midst of my battle
All hope was gone
Downtown in a rushed crowd
And felt all alone
And every now and then
I felt like I would lose my mind
I've been racin' for years
And still no finish line, oh
But then I climbed the hills
And saw the mountains (mountains)
I hollered help 'cause I was lost
Then I felt the strong wind
And then a small voice sayin'
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Come on and set me free
Somehow my beginning stepped right in (right in)
Then faith became my friend (my friend)
And now I can depend
On the voices of the wind
When it's sayin' (sayin')
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Won't you come and set me free
Won't you set me free
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Won't you come and set me free, yeah yeah
Won't you come and set me free, hey
(It's like) It's like, I can see the light, shinin'!
Somewhere beyond the clouds
It's like, I can see the light, shinin'!
Take it down, down
Down on me, looks like, I can see the light, shinin'!
Fear is going, the world's turnin'
The clouds movin, the sun shinin'
(If that guy can see the light, shine it!)
The rain is gone, I made it home
Rainbow, pot of gold
(The storm is over now)
I'm tellin' you I could see the light
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven over me, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Come and set me free
Come and set me free
Won't you come and set me free, yeah
(The storm is over now)
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)

I was in a tunnel
I was in a difficult situation
And couldn't see the light
I couldn't see a way out
And whenever I'd look up
Every time I tried to find hope
I couldn't see the sky
I couldn't see any positivity
Sometimes when I'm standin'
When I pause to reflect
It seems like I done walked for miles
It feels like I've been struggling for a long time
And my heart could be cryin'
And I could be really hurting inside
Dead in the middle of a smile
Even when I tried to pretend like everything was okay
But then I climbed the hills
But then I started to overcome my struggles
And saw the mountains
And saw the bigger picture
I hollered help 'cause I was lost
I asked for help when I was feeling lost
Then I felt the strong wind
Then I felt a strong sense of hope
Heard a small voice sayin'
Heard an encouraging voice
The storm is over
My struggles are coming to an end
(The storm is over now)
(I'm starting to see the light)
And I can see the sunshine
And now I can see positivity
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
(Even when things were hard to see)
I feel Heaven, yeah
I feel uplifted and hopeful
(Heaven is over me)
(I'm feeling really positive)
Come on and set me free, whoa
I want to break free from my struggles
All hope was gone
I was really feeling hopeless
Downtown in a rushed crowd
In the midst of everyone but feeling alone
And felt all alone
Feeling really isolated
And every now and then
And even though every so often
I felt like I would lose my mind
I felt like I was reaching my breaking point
I've been racin' for years
I've been struggling for a long time
And still no finish line, oh
And there doesn't seem to be an end in sight
Somehow my beginning stepped right in
I was able to start fresh
(right in)
Then faith became my friend
I found comfort in believing
(my friend)
And now I can depend
Now I can rely on
On the voices of the wind
The messages of hope
When it's sayin' (sayin')
When I'm hearing
Won't you set me free
I want to break free
(It's like) It's like, I can see the light, shinin'!
(It feels like) I can see positivity
Take it down, down
Bring it down (bring down the negativity)
Down on me, looks like, I can see the light, shinin'!
I'm feeling more positive
Fear is going, the world's turnin'
My fear is fading and things are improving
The clouds movin, the sun shinin'
Things are starting to look up
(If that guy can see the light, shine it!)
(If others can find hope, so can I!)
The rain is gone, I made it home
My struggles are behind me and I feel safe and secure
Rainbow, pot of gold
The positivity that comes after the storm
(I'm tellin' you I could see the light)
(I'm telling you I'm starting to feel hopeful)
(Heaven is over me)
(I'm feeling really positive)
Come and set me free
Help me break free
Won't you come and set me free, yeah yeah
Can you help me feel more positive
Won't you come and set me free, hey
Can you help me break free from negativity?
Somewhere beyond the clouds
Positivity exists even when things are hard to see
