Take shelter, take cover.
The lightning and thunder.
When the skies light up
and the ground shudders.
We'll be there, with each other.

Take shelter, take refuge,
with the people who love you.
All of my friends and lovers,
will be there with each other.

Hold your head up to the light,
wait till it's over now.
Take my hand and hold it tight,
wait till it's over now.
Everything will be alright,
wait till it's over now,
wait till it's over now.

Now I'm so much older.
And I've been knocked down
over and over again.
I've waited, but nothing only ever comes.
Nothing only ever comes,
over and over and over.

Hold your head up to the light,
wait till it's over now.
Take my hand and hold it tight,
wait till it's over now.
Everything will be alright,
wait till it's over now,
wait till it's over now.

Yeah we wait till it's over,
all the weight brings you to your knees.
Yeah we hide under covers,
live our lives through the TV screen.
Yeah we're lost and we can't be found,
we're lost and we can't be found.

Hold your head up to the light,
wait till it's over now.
Take my hand and hold it tight,
wait till it's over now.
Everything will be alright,
wait till it's over now,
wait till it's over now…
