mary gauthier - after a night of heavy rain lyrics

[verse 1]
i hear people singing far away through the fog
i see sparks in the wasteland, feel the strength in the underdog
it’s been a long time coming, our tongues too long tied
they tried to freeze the water, but they could not stop the tide

[verse 2]
they organized the music they thought would make us dance
the usa they sold us was a lot like vichy france
we did not feel the barbed wire they strung up until we felt
the haunted presence in our dreams of franklin roosevelt

[verse 3]
everywhere seeds are bursting where they were long concealed
the paralyzed are standing fearless marching through the fields
the mountains of corruption are crumbling stone by stone
by a million hands that understand together, they’re not alone

[chorus]
nevermore will the fist of tyrants rule us from above
or make us love the things we hate and hate the things we love
their time is passing quickly i hear the breaking of the chains
there’s nothing like a clear blue sky after a night of heavy rain
[verse 4]
the old ones who remember are followed by the young
who see the new day coming in the rays of the rising sun
forever they’re reclaiming what rightfully is theirs
as the bells of freedom ring out through the canyons everywhere
