Verse 1
Oh,
The boat will rock,
the storm will roll
Fear will pluck the strings of your soul
The waves won’t whisper,
The wind will roar,
Faith will rattle at the core
Sky went black like a power cut town
Salt on my lips, rain coming down
Heartbeat loud like boots on a dock
Hands on the rail while the whole world rocked
Cold in my chest, throat full of static
Tried to stay calm but the panic got active
Night got long, hope got thin
Every splash sounding like “this is the end”
Saw grown men lose words in their mouth
Eyes locked east but the prayer went south
Then through the dark where the whitecaps crashed
Something moved where the lightning flashed
Pre-Chorus
Not sinking, not tonight
Even when the tide don’t fight fair
Something in the deep says hold on tight
You ain’t drowning out there
Chorus
I won’t fold when the sky comes falling
Won’t break when the fear starts talking
Darkness banging on the front door frame
But it don’t get in, no it don’t stay
When my knees shake, when my faith bends
When the night feels like it won’t end
I still hear heaven calling my name
The darkness won’t beat me
No, the darkness won’t beat me
Verse 2
Water kept climbing the side of the hull
Every next wave hit harder than the one before
Face full of tears nobody could tell
Cause the ocean and the pain blend well
Mind goes loud when the silence snaps
You remember every fear you tried to stash
Every old wound, every closed room
Every “God where were You?”
Then the wind changed tone somehow
Like the whole earth had to calm down
Sea went still for a second flat
Like creation itself just leaned back
No fire trail, no war drum sound
Just peace walking over chaos now
And I swear that hope hit different then
Like sunrise crawling inside my skin
Build
If the ship goes sideways
If the water gets high
If my lungs fill up with the midnight
Still…
I know who stands in the waves
I know who calls me by name
Anthem Chorus
I won’t fold when the sky comes falling
Won’t break when the fear starts talking
Hell might howl but it won’t take me
The darkness won’t beat me
Chains may pull and the doubts may reach
Cold wind preaching what defeat means
But there’s fire underneath these feet
The darkness won’t beat me
No, no
The darkness won’t beat me
Outro
Oh…
The boat still rocks
The storm still rolls
But peace got deeper than the waves below
