Verse 1 - Siaosi (0:15 - 0:35) Siaosi (DTL) The sky is black, the wind is high, you see the lightning in my eye (DTL) They told me quit, they told me stop, the pressure building, now it pop. I see the waves, they crash and roll, trying to take my self-control. But I remember what the Elder said, a warrior’s heart, a cool, clear head. (SJ) See, I’m singin’ on the rhythm, I’m toasting on the riddim, (SJ) Gotta push on through the gloom, no room for the giving-up syndrome. (HYPE) Get up! Get up! Pre-Chorus - Mesha (0:35 - 0:48) Mesha (OD) - Smooth, slightly reverbed When the rain falls hard, and you can’t see the shore (OD) That's the moment that you know what you’re fighting for. Feel the fear, let it go, let your spirit breathe, ‘Cause no wicked storm can hold a soul that’s truly free. Chorus - Mesha & Siaosi (0:48 - 1:05) Mesha (Lead) & Siaosi (Harmony) (DUET) Mesha & Siaosi: Oh, the storm is raging, but the darkness won't last, (DUET) Every shadow fades away, when the morning's cast. The wind may blow, the thunder roar, hear the truth in the sound, Storms Never Last! They always break, they never stick around! (SCREAM) (CHOP) [Vocal sample of "never last, never last"] (CHOP) Verse 2 - Mesha (1:05 - 1:25) Mesha (DTL) They tried to drown the fire inside, but I just held my truth and pride. (DTL) A little water can't stop the flame, I whisper power, I call its name. The strongest trees are those that bend, I know the journey, know the end. I find my peace in the darkest hour, I stand my ground with inner power. (WHISP) (WHISP) [I am the anchor... I am the light...] (WHISP) Bridge (1:25 - 1:45) Siaosi (PREACH/CHOIR & RAST) (PREACH) Brother, sister! Do you feel the pressure? Do you feel the weight upon your shoulders? Well, let me tell you something! (PREACH) (C&A) Siaosi (Call): The King is coming! (C&A) Choir (Answer): He's coming soon! (CHOIR) Siaosi (Call): Stand firm in the faith!
