Weathering the Storm Songtext
von Richie Sambora

Glad to hear you′re weathering the storm
It's been mean and freezing messing up your life
In the fun house the mirrors make you ugly
After dark you′re just a shadow in the night

It takes a little time to come out clean
You got smoke and genies pouring out your lamp
One wish left to conjure up redemption
Hitch your collar up it's getting cold and damp

[Chorus:]
You can't cave into the thunder and the rain
You just shed your skin and start back up again
Shelter, food and sex is all we need
To weather out the storm in times like these

Beat the odds and climb back in the ring
You′ve been bruised and battered beaten by the fight
The Ferris wheels frozen at high noon
Some of us stay stranded our whole life


[Chorus:]
You can′t cave into the thunder and the rain
You just shed your skin and start back up again
Shelter, food and sex is all we need
To weather out the storm in times like these

As long as you've seen something being born
As long as you keep something living warm
You′ll know the feeling soon enough I'm sure
The feeling of weathering the storm

Everywhere it smells like revolution
They′re burning tires and breaking down our doors
Tearing down the same old institutions
Investing in the same old tired wars

Glad to hear you're weathering the storm
It′s been mean and freezing messing up your life

[Chorus:]
You can't cave into the thunder and the rain
You just shed your skin and start back up again
Shelter, food and sex is all we need
To weather out the storm in times like these


As long as you've seen something being born
As long as you keep something living warm
You′ll know the feeling soon enough I′m sure
The feeling of weathering the storm
The feeling of weathering the storm
