Michael Mcdonald - Storm before the calm lyrics

As the DAYS go darker We lose SIGHT of the dawn We PRAY for better days Here in PEACE we'll carry on With the CHANCE for children To do BETTER than we've done If we can MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm Some time in our DESPERATION The man believe - the devil lie Til all we're left with thin the in Is a world of shaddered lives We cryin out loud, so what's compa**ion? We forgive this every time As he takes us thru the storm before the calm And if we WORK for PEACE We are all gonna FIND our DELIVERANCE And if we WORK for PEACE FIND our DELIVERANCE If we WORK for PEACE We'll FIND our DELIVERANCE As we MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm We got to learn to find the difference Beneath the surface were it shows Between the when a lot of us want to turn us And what the devil – we don't know You gotta watch on where we're going Before we go to far If we're going to MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm And if we WORK for PEACE We are all gonna FIND our DELIVERANCE And if we WORK for PEACE FIND our DELIVERANCE If we WORK for PEACE We'll FIND our DELIVERANCE As we MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm If we STAND - for every man With LORD – we'll make a way We will REACH- a higher ground WATCH - A Brighter day And if we WORK for PEACE We are all gonna FIND our DELIVERANCE And if we WORK for PEACE FIND our DELIVERANCE If we WORK for PEACE We'll FIND our DELIVERANCE As we MAKE IT thru the storm before the calm If we STAND - for every man With LORD – we'll make a way We will REACH- a higher ground WATCH - A Brighter day If we STAND - for every man With LORD – we'll make a way We will REACH- a higher ground WATCH - A Brighter day Michael McDonald - keyboards Bernie Chiaravalle, Michael Thompson - guitars Abe Laboriel, Jr - drums Nathan East - ba** FROM West Angeles COGIC Ma** Choir: Ametria Dock, Darryl Phinnessee, Dennis Reed, Sheria Croutch Jason Eskridge, Jim Gilstrap, Lejuene Thompson, Alvin Chea Rachael Lampa, Shannon Sanders, Nickie Conley, Heather Headley (background vocals)
