Weather the Storm

Gather round children, come here to my side
Sit by the fire where it's warm
I'll tell you something was once told to me
'Bout the way that we weather the storm

It's not how long the rain falls
Or how hard the wind blows
Or how deep is the snow in the road
Nor the balance we fake when we feel the ground shake
And we think that our world will explode

It's the help that we give
It's the love that we live
It's our pride in the friendships we form
It's the courage we show facing things we don't know
It's the way that we weather the storm

If you try to stand tall, but you slip and you fall
In the earth is the sound of the stars
Truth gets revealed when you're broken and healed
Every heart is made stronger by scars

It's not how long the rain falls
Or how hard the wind blows
Or how deep is the snow in the road
Nor the balance we fake when we feel the ground shake
And we think that our world will explode

It's the help that we give
It's the love that we live
It's our pride in the friendships we form
It's the courage we show facing things we don't know
It's the way that we weather the storm

So go on your journeys, be bold and be brave
Be lions, my boys, and be strong
And when it is such that it all feels too much
Then remember the words to this song

It's not how long the rain falls
Or how hard the wind blows
Or how deep is the snow in the road
Nor the balance we fake when we feel the ground shake
And we think that our world will explode

It's the help that we give
It's the love that we live
It's our pride in the friendships we form
It's the courage we show facing things we don't know
It's the way that we weather the storm
It's the way that we weather the storm
