Cover art for Storms In Africa lyrics by Enya

i think it's a about storm in africa (duh?!)....but in a metaphore. Africa, a dessert & dry country, isn't it always stormy and heavy when a rain come?because there's only small trees etc. But water is always a blessing in that dry area.

Storm symbolize trouble or big problem.. Lift your heart Walk through the storms Lift your heart! Go through the storms get through it, don't run from your problems. the she says "long journey, LOOK THROUGH the storm" look beyond your trouble, there'll be some solution. After the storm, the blessing of the water will be the success and your achievement, you know --mistake / trouble that don't kill you only makes you stronger--

after the storm, maybe there will be a rainbow..right? i always think enya's song is so optimistic and inspiring..

daz_spaz, thank you for the translation, does Storm in africa II have the same meaning with this song?
