For After the Storm has Passed
Applause is a lighting bolt, 
 Saved til the very last scene.
 The storm is over – you can be yourself once more.
 It wasn’t easy getting here,
 A storm is never pretty,
 They just told you it’d be worth it
 A storm can bring flowers
 Flowers are thrown to a job well done,
 It’s night time and the rain has turned to but a drizzle
 But one clap makes a difference when paired with another
 Listen to the pitter patter on your window,
 Just hear that crowd scream
 
 This is the moment you’ve been
 Longing so tirelessly for,
 Working so hard for,
 Waiting so long for.
 You’ve done your work 
 So hard, for so long.
 
 Did you want it to be over,
 Or was that said just out of frustration?
 
 I’m tired of the storm,
 I just want the sun.
 
 Now, you can’t believe its over.
 It shouldn’t have gone by so quick,
 But it did,
 And its done.
 
 So go do your bows
 And say your thank yous.
 This crowd is giving you
 The standing ovation you  d  e  s  e  r  v  e.
