Sunshine After the Rain

Intro – Blues Guitar & Hammond Organ

Mmm...

I know trouble...

But I also know something else...

Trouble don't last forever.

Verse 1

I woke up this morning with a weight on my mind,

Wondering how I was gonna leave my troubles behind.

Bills on the table, rain against the glass,

I looked at yesterday and said, "This too shall pass."

I've been down where the road gets rough,

I've had days when enough was enough,

But somewhere deep inside my soul,

I heard a little voice say, "Keep holding on."

Pre-Chorus

The night may be long,

But morning's coming on...

Chorus – Gospel Soul

Trouble don't last forever,

Trouble don't have the final say.

Storm clouds may gather,

But they always move away.

I've cried my tears,

I've faced my fears,

But I'm still standing here today.

Trouble don't last forever,

There'll be sunshine after the rain.

Verse 2

I've seen friends walk away from my life,

I've carried sorrow, I've wrestled with strife,

But every scar that I carry today

Is proof that I made it through another day.

So if you're sitting in the darkness tonight,

Wondering if you'll ever see the light,

Don't give up and don't lose heart,

The dawn is coming—just hold on.

Pre-Chorus – Organ Rises

The night may be long,

But morning won't be gone...

Chorus

Trouble don't last forever,

Trouble don't have the final say.

Storm clouds may gather,

But they always move away.

I've cried my tears,

I've faced my fears,

But I'm still standing here today.

Trouble don't last forever,

There'll be sunshine after the rain.

I've been down...

But I didn't stay down.

I've been hurt...

But I'm still here.

I've cried...

But I found my smile again.
