This song conveys the pure emotion of one who betrays a loved one, only to find them offering forgiveness… even after the fall. I hear a lot of parallels with the story of Peter and Christ here. Through the three denials, Peter finds in Himself weakness where he had once claimed strength. In his own...
[Verse 1]
Upwards I climbed
Above me stretched the northern skies
Beneath the great night's height
I fought alone
I was at war
Both with myself and with it all
My own shadow now my home
No place to call my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Storms may come
But wild tempests won't tear me away from your arms
I'll hold to the good and the true
I'll weather your storms for the stillness in you
[Chorus]
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
[Verse 2]
All of this time
You said I gave too little but I say you asked for too much
Love's a two edged sword
And though I'm yours I'm mine
And you'd see if you dared
That our moments were never owned, only ever were they shared
That for you there must be me
And for me there must be you
[Pre-Chorus]
Storms may come
But wild tempests won't tear me away from your arms
I'll hold to the good and the true
I'll weather your storms for the stillness in you
[Chorus]
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
[Verse 3]
Ancient love, I ran before the storm
No power to take me, 'cause I was ever yours
Ancient love, I ran before the storm
No power to take me, 'cause I was ever yours
[Chorus]
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
