Lyrics
After the rain has gone
And the sky has cleared
After the water’s gone
And the land it reappears
When the clouds have gone
And the blue sky breaks on through
When the grey has gone
And the sun shines through
We will rise again one day
Restore what’s been washed away
We will learn from our mistakes
And build on solid ground again
The old is washed away
And the new is yet to start
From all thats washed away
Lives to be rebuild
We will rise again one day
Restore what’s been washed away
We will learn from our mistakes
And build on solid ground again
We will rise again one day
Restore what’s been washed away
We will learn from our mistakes
And build on solid ground again
And build on solid ground again
And build on solid ground again
