[Verse 1]
Broken doors
Family photos in the mud
Ceiling gone
But her hands still wipe the blood
Sirens fade
Now it's only quiet fear
Counting heads
Whisper
"Thank God we’re still here"
[Chorus]
We are the voice after the thunder
We are the hands that pull each other from the rain
When all the names fall off the houses
We write them back again
This is the fire in the freezing
This is the light we build from every shattered frame
We are the hope after the heartbreak
(long after the storm is named)
[Verse 2]
Sidewalks drowned
Cars asleep on crooked sides
Schoolyard swings
Twisted metal
Busted rides
But she finds
One dry teddy in the dirt
Holds it up
Says
"We’re more than all this hurt"
[Chorus]
We are the voice after the thunder
We are the hands that pull each other from the rain
When all the names fall off the houses
We write them back again
This is the fire in the freezing
This is the light we build from every shattered frame
We are the hope after the heartbreak
(long after the storm is named)
[Bridge]
[Music drops to soft piano and vocal]
Candles on the curb
Holding up a sign
"I am here
Please
Remember mine"
[Drums and choir swell in]
Every broken window
Every empty chair
Sing together
Louder
"We are still right here" (ohh)
[Chorus]
We are the voice after the thunder
We are the hands that pull each other from the rain
When all the names fall off the houses
We write them back again
This is the fire in the freezing
This is the song that rises out of all the pain
We are the hope after the heartbreak
(long after the storm is named)
(yeah, long after the storm is named)
