How Can I Keep From Singing? / The Great Storm Is Over - Peter, Paul and Mary

My life rolls on in endless song

Above earth’s lamentations

I hear the real though far-off hymn

That hails the new creation

Above the tumult and the strife

I hear it’s music ringin'

It sounds an echo in my soul

How can I keep from singin'?

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Thunder and lightning gave voice to the night

The little lame child cried out in her fright

Hush little baby, a story I’ll tell

Of a love that has vanquished

The powers of hell

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Sweetness in the air and justice on the wind

Laughter in the house where the mourners have been

The dead shall have music and the blind have new eyes

The standards of death taken down by surprise

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Release for the captives, an end to the wars

New springs in the desert, new hope for the poor

The little lame children will dance as they sing

And play with the bears and lions in spring

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Hush little baby, let go of your fear

The Lord loves his own and your mother is here

The child fell asleep as the lantern did burn

The mother sang on ‘till her bridegroom’s return

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly

Alleliuah the great storm is over

Lift up your wings and fly
