Matthew & The Few - Thousand Year (feat. Dom Wier) Lyrics

I heard it after the tornado sirens
A thousand voices with a hand to lend
I was afraid I couldn't break my silence
But I got over that
Cuz I got up and I got out
I learned that life and love were less about
Giving in to every fear I found
And more about giving back
So you can't rain on my parade
I made it through a thousand rainy days
You can't tell me how to live and love
Cuz I made it through a thousand year flood
I had friends who lost everything
Homes were gone but somehow it missed me
Dug through the wreckage and found new belief
Guess you can call it luck
So I did what I thought I could
Raised a contribution for the greater good
We all pitched in like I knew we would
Hearts were buried, but the love rose up
No you can't rain on my parade
I made it through a thousand rainy days
You can't tell me how to live and love
Cuz I made it through a thousand year flood
Well I told myself
That we could use my help
I knew this hope I held
Wasn't only mine
We put our guitars down
And let a new song pour out
A solace all around
And it's been with us all this time
No you can't rain on my parade
I made it through a thousand rainy days
You can't tell me how to live and love
Cuz I made it through a thousand year flood
I made it through a thousand year
I made it through a thousand year flood
