Elizabeth: Through The Storm (Remix)

[female

vocals] (

Soft

melodic

acoustic

guitar

intro)

Yeah,

yeah

Walking

down

memory

lane

Elizabeth,

this

one

is

for

you

I

remember

all

the

paths

we

walked

when

we

were

small

Watching

the

shadows

grow

tall

against

the

wall

I

recall

the

days

at

the

house

of

clay

by

the

bridge

Just

you

and

me,

trying

to

survive

on

the

edge

Mama

came

home,

saw

us

sharing

that

thin

bowl

of

tea

Just

us

two,

living

life

so

uncertainly

We

didn't

have

much,

but

we

had

that

bond

so

tight

Searching

for

hope

in

the

middle

of

the

night

Elizabeth,

oh,

we’

ve

come

such

a

long

way

now

Through

the

struggles

and

the

hunger,

I

don't

know

how

But

you

stood

tall,

even

when

the

road

was

steep

You

kept

the

promises

that

you

chose

to

keep

Yeah,

we

made

it

through

the

storm

and

the

rain

Leaving

behind

all

the

ghosts

of

the

pain

I

remember

the

days

when

I

walked

to

school

alone

Watching

the

others

with

pocket

money

of

their

own

They

went

to

tuition,

I

stayed

behind

in

the

dust

Keeping

our

secrets

and

holding

onto

our

trust

I

remember

the

camps,

the

long

days

in

the

sun

Peeling

those

cassava

until

the

work

was

done

Trying

to

put

a

meal

on

the

table

for

us

two

Hard

labor

and

sweat,

just

to

make

it

through

Elizabeth,

oh,

we’

ve

come

such

a

long

way

now

Through

the

struggles

and

the

hunger,

I

don't

know

how

But

you

stood

tall,

even

when

the

road

was

steep

You

kept

the

promises

that

you

chose

to

keep

Yeah,

we

made

it

through

the

storm

and

the

rain

Leaving

behind

all

the

ghosts

of

the

pain

Then

the

sickness

came,

and

the

weight

began

to

grow

Deep

into

the

debts,

nowhere

left

for

you

to

go

I

saw

you

by

the

rail,

lost

in

the

heavy

thought

Of

an

ending

to

the

battle

that

we

had

fought

But

you

stayed,

you

held

on,

you

chose

to

breathe

You

found

a

new

strength,

a

reason

not

to

leave

Elizabeth,

oh,

we’

ve

come

such

a

long

way

now

Through

the

struggles

and

the

hunger,

I

don't

know

how

But

you

stood

tall,

even

when

the

road

was

steep

You

kept

the

promises

that

you

chose

to

keep

Yeah,

we

made

it

through

the

storm

and

the

rain

Leaving

behind

all

the

ghosts

of

the

pain

We

survived

the

clay

house,

the

bridge,

and

the

cold

Look

at

the

story

that

we

have

finally

told

Elizabeth,

you’

re

the

strongest

I

know

Just

watch

how

we

continue

to

grow

Yeah,

just

watch

us

grow (

Fade

out

with

soft

guitar

melody)
