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
