When The Dust Has Settled

about

This song was written in a "dark night of the soul." Already written when the pandemic hit, it slowly became apparent to us that this was now "everyone's story". We celebrate those who endure and stay with us though our darkest hours. Here's to healing and wholeness for all of us.

lyrics

When The Dust Has Settled

The storm blew out of nowhere
It caught me by surprise
Things I knew turned upside down
Before my very eyes
I should have seen it coming
The warning signs were there
But I kept myself so busy
That it caught me unaware

When the dust has settled
When the winds begin to still
I’ll know my heart much better
Or at least I think I will
Despite the storm that rages
One day I’ll make it through
And when the dust has settled
I’ll be standing next to you
I’ll be standing next to you

It took awhile to catch my breath
To learn to try again
Take one moment at a time
Let go of what has been
Tomorrow held a tiny torch
Of hope along the way
That joy comes in the morning
With the light of a new day

When the dust has settled
When the winds begin to still
I’ll know my heart much better
At least I think I will
Despite the storm that rages
One day I’ll make it through
And when the dust has settled
I’ll be standing next to you
I’ll be standing next to you

Cause you stood by me, with me, for me
When the others looked away
Please stay by me, with me, for me
Until this darkness fades to grey, and …

When the dust has settled
When the winds begin to still
I’ll know my heart much better
At least I think I will
Despite the storm that rages
One day I’ll make it through
And when the dust has settled
I’ll be standing next to you

Chorus
Still be standing next to you
I’ll be standing next to you
Still be standing next to you
