Don't be afraid, love, when the storm comes
We're gonna make it through on our own
Don't you, don't you ever let go of my love
Think about it, if you believe then it will be

We'll be riding high and we won't look down
See our spirits flying to that higher ground

Over and over, oh, the storm raged
I held you in my arms to keep you warm
No, you, no, you never let go of my love
Through the darkness you were the light that shone on me

Now we're riding high, yeah and we don't look down with our spirits flying to the higher ground

Every step I took, through everything I've done

When the lightning struck you were the only one
You were the only one
You were the only one
Oh
No you
No you never let go of my love
Through the darkness
You are the light that shines on me

Now we're riding high yeah
And we don't look down with our spirits flying to that higher ground
We're riding high yeah
And we don't look down with our spirits flying to that higher ground we're riding high yeah
And we don't look down with our spirits flying to that higher ground

British psychedelic pop/rock band Traffic found success in both the UK and the US, captivating listeners with a broad array of genre-bending instrumentation.

Traffic was formed in 1967 when Steve Winwood parted ways with the Spencer Davis Group to join drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and woodwind and keys player Chris Wood in their exploration of psychedelia and the tougher variations of late-sixties rock.
