Though the storm has passed 
And the winds have gone away 
Its shadow still lingers 
And evening's cast is gray 

For the nighttime brings peace 
And a dreamless sleep is sure 
But watchful eyes see morning 
As the storm repeats its tour 

For the storm of life remembers 
All the doors it crushed before 
And will seek out to destroy them 
'Til the doors will close no more 

But for those who reinforce them 
Will set the storm at bay 
And seldom to return, their doors 
May set open 'til that day
