For every calm there is a storm
But it is often out of view
It changes paths, it changes forms
Just like our souls, like they often do

Broke the calm, strain in the back
I was born, driven by fear
And I don't think I'll ever understand
But I know I'll be runnin' for years

And I, I hope there's a higher ground
'Cause I'm going steadily down
And I know, I know I'll be alright
If I, if I just get through the night and

I love your way, oh I love you baby, don't mean maybe
I love your way, and oh you brighten and enlighten

I've been walkin', I've been walkin' sideways
Walkin' down the street
I won't look back for another minute
There's nothin' left to see
Oh, I took the long way
Oh, I took the long way

For every calm there is a storm
But it is often out of view
It changes paths, it changes forms
Just like our souls, like they often do

But I know I'll be runnin' for years

And I, I hope there's a higher ground
