[Verse 1]
The storm is over, and I'm so glad the sun is shining
We fast and pray and it feels good to know that he answers
Confusion everywhere without a clue on how to make it better (yeah)
A toast to the man upstairs 'cause he puts the pieces back together

[Pre-Chorus]
Now let's step to a new tune (come on)
'Cause everything's okay (yeah)
You alright, and I'm alright
Well, let's celebrate

[Chorus]
What a relief to know that (yeah), we are one (ooh)
What a relief to know that (ooh), the war is over
What a relief to know that, there's an angel in the sky
What a relief to know that, love is still alive, yeah

[Verse 2]
Though we struggle, know that help is on the way, yeah (ooh)
The power of love, we cannot underestimate, no (ooh)
Seems like you're gonna break (yeah), and there is no escape (yeah)
You've still got to have faith (yeah)
And know that love is gonna step up to the plate, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Now let's step to a brand new tune
'Cause everything's okay (ooh)
You alright (yeah), and I'm alright (yeah)
Ooh, so let's celebrate

[Chorus]
What a relief to know that (ooh), we are one (we are one)
What a relief to know that (the war), the war is over
What a relief to know that (yeah), there's an angel in the sky
What a relief to know that, love is still alive

[Bridge]
Listen, see I'm just trying to bring relief to that who need it (yeah)
Somebody help somebody, now go and repeat it
Understand that struggle has no colors (no)
See, we all got our stormy weather (yeah)
Which all the more reason why we should join hands and pull it together (yeah)
Stepping gives us a way out through the back door (yeah)
So take a deep breath and grab somebody and hit the floor

[Chorus]
What a relief to know that, we are one (we are one, yeah, we are one)
What a relief to know that (what a relief, yeah), the war is over
What a relief to know that, there's an angel in the sky
What a relief to know that, love is still alive
What a relief to know that (yeah), we are one (ooh)
What a relief to know that, the war is over
What a relief to know that, there's an angel in the sky
What a relief to know that, love is still alive

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
