I remember as a child, just sitting on the porch As the rain poured and the thunder rolled In the safety and the warmth of my family by my side I heard my daddy whisper low Saying it would be alright, telling us to hold on tight Now when the storms of our misfortune are more than I can bear His voice, it echoes through me and it sounds like a living prayer The sun's gonna shine, the rain will stop The healing wind's gonna fill your heart My love will keep you safe and warm Little one, I'll carry you above the storm I can see it in your eyes, I can feel it in your touch There's worry in your innocent smile There's a fire on the wind, there's a change that's gonna come But I'll be with you every mile Saying it'll be alright, we'll be walking in the line So when the darkness of indifference starts blocking out the sun We'll bind our hearts together and our love will overcome (just remember) The sun's gonna shine, the rain will stop The healing wind's gonna fill your heart My love will keep you safe and warm Little one, I'll carry you above the storm Ride every highway, sail every ocean Don't be afraid to show your emotion And when you're grown, with kids of your own Please tell them these words for me The sun's gonna shine, the rain will stop The healing wind's gonna fill your heart My love will keep you safe and warm The wind's gonna change, our tears will dry The world will heal, but until that time My love will keep you safe from harm Little one, I'll carry you above the storm Little one, I'm gonna carry you above the storm Little one, little one, above the storm
