The waves, like cavalry Grow with the wind And the ship is not rowing She knows she's not going to win The water's too deep It could pull her down Swiftly and clean It's the fight that will kill her So she gives herself up to the wind And the tempest is raging It's caving in the sky And the tempest is raging Couldn't tame it if she tried And the tempest is raging And the tempest is raging The rain's pouring down It seems never to cease And though it tatters her so It is, oh, such a sweet sweet release For it swallows her whole Till she's forced to see herself through So when the waters recede She'll emerge freed and renewed And the tempest is raging It's caving in the sky And the tempest is raging Couldn't tame it if she tried And the tempest is raging Oh the tempest is raging Oh the tempest is raging Come all my friends The danger has passed The sky's opened wide The sun's shining at last A rainbow is high And a mist on the hill Don't hide your eyes This is life you have lived Run away, sweet child, run away You have weathered the storm Now the horizon awaits Sit in your eyes and see your truth Shining like beacons Light the way for you Over and over the weather will change There'll be peace, there'll be calm And then the tempest will rage But there's a fire inside you As bright as the day Open your soul Let it guide your way Run away, sweet child, run away You have weathered the storm Now the horizon awaits Sit in your eyes and see your truth Shining like beacons Light the way for you Shining like beacons Shining like beacons As the waves grow with the wind Like cavalry, grow with the wind Like cavalry, like cavalry Grow with the wind
