Stephanie Mills - Ain't it Good lyrics

[MAMA NOAH, spoken] Thank God, the stars are still in the sky! I thought they drowned with everything else... [MAMA NOAH] Oh, look out there In the eastern sky Is that a hint of light Oh, come and look I need to know If I am seeing right We lived so long in dark I'm almost frightened to believe Those clearing skies on That glistening horizon please Tell me my eyes Do not deceive me Ain't it sweet To smell the morning In a world washed fresh and clean Now the storm has left it's warning And we see, we see a hint of green Pale grey light Grow strong and golden And release us from our pen Where we rocked for endless days On a sea of endless greys Now we sing a song of praise Amen! Ain't it good Ain't it good now Ain't it good to see the sun again [MAMA NOAH, (STORYTELLERS)] When my ears (when my ears) Were filled with thunder (they were filled with thunder) And when my soul (and when my soul) Began to shake (when my soul began to shake) There were times (there were times) I'd truly wonder (I would truly wonder) If those clouds (those dark and gloomy rain clouds) Would ever break (If those clouds would ever break) But no storm (but there's no storm) Would last forever (no storm can last forever) Though we felt (we felt so helpless then) So helpless then Now we raise a joyful chant For a glimpse of olive plant Haven't seen one since I can't I can't remember when (can't remember when it felt so good) Ain't it good (when skies are clearing) Oh, ain't it good (now our hearts begin to dance) Our hearts are dancing And now (and now our hopes are reappearing) So good (since we've been granted a second chance) We've got a second chance And for now (and for now) We're done with fearing (we are done with fearing) We might be (we thought we'd be the final generation) The final generation In a dawn that's new and fresh Open wide this floating crest And deliver every precious specimen (Ain't it good, ain't it good) Ain't it good now Ain't it good to see the sun again My Lord [MAMA NOAH] After all the nights we stood Smelling rain and gopher wood [STORYTELLERS] Ain't it good [MAMA NOAH] To see the sun again [STORYTELLERS] Oh, ain't it good To see the shining golden sun again
