After The Storm

Open hearts, open eyes
Open scars that are left upon
Open minds

Sacred words sacrificed
Storytellers exaggerate
Shallow lies

After the hurt has gone away
Oh, will we feel the pain?
After the storm begins to turn
Oh, will we ever learn?

Open doors, open books
Tragic stories repeated still
Overlooked

Chase the wind, catch a breath
Watch a child when it falls
Helplessness

After the hurt has gone away
Oh, will we feel the pain?
After the storm begins to turn
Oh, will we ever learn?

It's never too late to say a prayer
It might be all we got to share
There's always a hope that someone's there

Don't confirm unless it's sure
Don't pretend to know a cure
Don't convince the world you're right
Don't deny you've never lied

After the hurt has gone away
Oh, will we feel the pain?
After the storm begins to turn
Oh, will we ever learn?

After the hurt has gone away
Oh, will we feel the pain?
After the storm begins to turn
Oh, will we ever learn?

Oh, will we ever learn? Yeah
Oh, will we ever learn?
