lyrics

When the morning comes,
She’ll discover what she seeks.
Surveying the horizon for happiness,
With a pool of tears beneath.
It’s not as if she’s selfish,
But her world just don’t seem quite right.
And she knows that life isn’t long enough,
To be spending time unsatisfied.

And so she prays:
“Lord I know I’m lucky in a lot of ways,
But I know, I’ve had my fair share of sand in my face”.
Don’t kick them when they’re down,
Coz they’re lost not found.
Needing a break in the clouds.

When the morning comes,
No he won’t give in.
Though ever corner that he turns seems to thrust darkness upon him.
The songs he used to sing,
Used to tell him to follow his heart.
But now the path that he treads to the promised land seems to push him further back.

And so he prays,
That one day he might see,
His dreams before him,
Become a reality.
Don’t kick them when they’re done,
Coz’ they’re lost not found,
Needing a break in the clouds.

When the morning comes,
They pray it will all go away.
The mists to ascend,
So they can concentrate,
On life itself.
A breathing space,
A saving grace,
A break in the clouds.
An illuminated path,
A candle held to your heart,
A new place to start.
They’re looking for a break in the clouds, in the clouds.
They’re looking for a break in the clouds, in the clouds.

So Lord I pray,
They’ll find an oasis on their barren plain,
To drown their fears,
To quench their hearts and minds again.
They won’t be kicked when they’re down,
They won’t be lost but found,
With a break in the clouds.
