lyrics

Calm under coloured glass windows
After the storm, after the storm
Safe this time from where the wild wind blows
After the storm, after the storm

So rest and find yourself welcome
Ages of trouble have taken their toll
After centuries of persecution
It's here you'll find a home

After the storm, after the storm,
After the storm, after the storm.

These grey stones, they are weathered and beaten
After the storm, after the storm
Still they stand as a symbol of freedom
After the storm, after the storm.

So rest and find yourself welcome
Ages of trouble have taken their toll
After centuries of persecution
It's here you'll find a home

After the storm, after the storm,
After the storm, after the storm.

For rich and for poor, these walls are a haven
After the storm, after the storm
In troubled times, their sanctuary saves them
After the storm, after the storm.

So rest and find yourself welcome
Ages of trouble have taken their toll
After centuries of persecution
It's here you'll find a home

After the storm, after the storm,
After the storm, after the storm.
