A taste of sunshine

Verse 1)

There is a screen door banging in a dynamic wind

Feels like the sky is falling down again

We gather up the miles and the mud on our boots

Just trying to hold onto our deepest roots

Sometimes the radar is spinning all red

Matching the worries running through my head

Chorus

Oh, our lives look a whole lot like the weather

Just trying to keep this old roof together

We get the thunder, the lightning, the driving rain

The kind of midnight wind that tests your name

But you hold my hand when the dark clouds roll

'Cause there's a silver lining for a patient soul

Yeah, you gotta ride the storm...

To taste the sunshine

Verse 2

I've seen the flash floods take a good man's crops

Sat on the kitchen floor till the pouring stops

You lit a candle when the power went down

Said the roots grow deep in the muddy ground

A house built on love doesn't easily fall

Even when the shadows are leaning on the wall

Chorus

Oh, our lives look a whole lot like the weather

Just trying to keep this old roof together

We get the thunder, the lightning, the driving rain

The kind of midnight wind that tests your name

But you hold my hand when the dark clouds roll

'Cause there's a silver lining for a patient soul

Yeah, you gotta ride the storm...

To taste the sunshine

Bridge

The ground might be shaken and the branches might break

But look at the beautiful morning it's gonna make

The air clears out when the pressure drops low

That's when you watch the wild flowers grow

Chorus

Oh, our lives look a whole lot like the weather

Just trying to keep this old roof together

We get the thunder, the lightning, the driving rain

The kind of midnight wind that tests your name

But you hold my hand when the dark clouds roll

'Cause there's a silver lining for a patient soul

Yeah, you gotta ride the storm...

To taste the sunshine

Outro

Just look at that sunshine

Breaking right through the pines

Yeah, the mud's gonna dry

Look up at the blue sky

We made it to the sunshine

To taste the sunshine...
