WHEN THE THUNDER CALLS
There’s a storm crawling over the skyline,
Black clouds swallowing up the moon,
I can feel something coming like judgment,
And I know it’ll be here soon.
Cold wind rattles against the windows,
Lightning dances across the walls,
And somewhere beneath all that thunder
I can hear the beginning of the fall.
You thought I’d never see it coming,
Thought I’d never recognize the signs,
But lightning has a way of showing
What you’ve been hiding in the night.
Every whispered conversation,
Every story that never aligned,
Now the storm is pulling back the curtain
On every secret left behind.
When the thunder rolls, I stand alone,
With the rain coming down and a heart turned stone.
Let the lightning strike, let the whole sky fall,
I’ve got nothing left to lose at all.
Take your secrets, take your lies,
Take the promises that already died.
When the heavens open and judgment calls,
I’ll be standing alone when the thunder falls.
Every flash paints another picture,
Every rumble brings another truth,
All those nights you called me crazy
For questioning what I knew.
Now the storm outside ain’t half as violent
As the one you’ve started here,
And the man you thought would keep forgiving
Is the one you finally taught not to care.
No more questions.
No more reasons.
No more begging you to stay.
Some storms come to destroy you—
Some wash everything away.
So let it rain.
I STAND ALONE.
Let it pour.
I STAND ALONE.
I’ve survived every damn thing
That tried to put me on the floor.
Let the wind scream through the darkness,
Let the lightning find my soul,
There’s something freeing in discovering
You’ve got nothing left to hold.
The thunder cracks—
I DON’T MOVE.
The whole house shakes—
I DON’T BREAK.
Everything I thought I needed
Was another damn mistake.
You built your house from secrets,
Now watch them wash away.
You can blame me for the wreckage,
But you made the storm today.
When the thunder rolls, I stand alone,
No shelter, no mercy, nowhere called home.
Let the heavens rage, let the wild winds blow,
There’s nowhere left that I need to go.
Every scar is proof I survived,
Every wound reminds me I’m still alive.
When the last drop of rain finally falls,
I’ll still be standing through it all.
So bring the storm.
Bring the darkness.
Bring the worst you’ve got tonight.
I’ve spent too many years surrendering,
Now I’m ready for the fight.
I used to fear the silence
That followed after you.
Now silence sounds like freedom
When there’s nothing left to lose.
The rain keeps falling harder,
But something’s changed inside.
I’m not searching for forgiveness.
I’m not looking for somewhere to hide.
Let every bolt split open heaven.
Let every window shake.
I’ve learned the strongest foundations
Are the ones you cannot break.
When the thunder rolls, I stand alone,
With nothing but the strength I’ve grown.
Let the lightning burn through everything
That reminds me what we used to be.
You can run from truth, but you can’t hide
When the storm brings
