This used to be a house of laughter,
And this used to be a heaven safe and sound,
Once full of life but now all has ended,
And only silent memories are bound.
But in my dreams it never happened,
I close my eyes, and everything's the same,
The same old ways, the same old patterns,
So I awake, and still I call your name.
(Gotta keep holding on)
Waiting for the storms to end,
(Waiting for the sun to shine again)
Shine on me,
(Gotta keep holding on)
Waiting for the storms to end,
(Tell me that a broken heart can mend),
Can a broken heart still mend.
I see the face relieve the sorrow,
This world's been rocked by such a cruel blast,
I'm feeling that there's no tomorrow,
Show me a faith that can undo the past.
No greed will calm, no crumbs of comfort,
Will take away my bitter taste,
So unprepared to face the morning,
With no-one here to fill the empty space.
(Gotta keep holding on)
Waiting for the storms to end,
(Waiting for the sun to shine again)
Shine on me,
(Gotta keep holding on)
Waiting for the storms to end,
(Tell me that a broken heart can mend),
Can a broken heart still mend.
Pain makes me think, love makes me wise,
Wisdom makes life bearable,
And now as I begin to realise,
This life is repairable.
No winter can last forever,
And there's no spring that skips its turn,
As I look out for brighter weather,
Give me strength to help me live and learn.
Waiting for the storms to end
Waiting for the sun to shine again
Waiting for the storms to end
Can a broken heart still mend
(Gotta keep holding on)
Waiting for the storms to end,
(Waiting for the sun to shine again)
Shine on me,
(Gotta keep holding on)
Waiting for the storms to end,
(Tell me that a broken heart can mend),
Can a broken heart still mend.
(Gotta keep holding on)
(Waiting for the sun to shine again)
Shine on me,
(Gotta keep holding on)
(Tell me that a broken heart can mend)
(Gotta keep holding on)
Gotta keep holding on
Ooh oh, I'm waiting
(Gotta keep holding on)
(Gotta keep holding on)
(Gotta keep holding on)
Gotta keep holding on
