Verse 1
I’ve been the thunder shaking up our skies,
Speaking too loud when silence would’ve been wise.
I’ve worn these scars beneath this weathered skin,
Trying to be stronger than the storms within.
I’ve stumbled down roads I swore I’d never tread,
Let pride do the talking instead of what my heart said.
But every sunrise finds me trying once again,
To be the kind of man you’ve always believed I am.
Pre-Chorus
I may bend like the tallest pine in a raging wind,
But I keep standing because you’re worth it in the end.
Chorus
I’m the thunder, loud and wild,
Still learning how to tame this heart inside.
You’re the lightning cutting through the dark,
Always finding your way back to my heart.
Even when I stumble, even when I fall,
You never stop believing through it all.
If I don’t say “I love you” enough, it’s true,
Just know every beat of my heart belongs to you.
Be proud of the man I’m fighting to become,
’Cause every storm I face still leads me home.
Verse 2
Lightning never asks the clouds if it should shine,
Just like your grace keeps rescuing this heart of mine.
You saw the good before I ever could,
Believed I’d be the man you always knew I would.
I don’t always say the words you deserve to hear,
Sometimes they drown beneath my doubt and fear.
But if you could hear my heartbeat through the rain,
You’d know your name echoes in every refrain.
Pre-Chorus
The darkest clouds don’t last forever overhead,
Your love keeps breathing life into what’s left unsaid.
Chorus
I’m the thunder, loud and wild,
Still learning how to tame this heart inside.
You’re the lightning cutting through the dark,
Always finding your way back to my heart.
Even when I stumble, even when I fall,
You never stop believing through it all.
If I don’t say “I love you” enough, it’s true,
Just know every beat of my heart belongs to you.
Be proud of the man I’m fighting to become,
’Cause every storm I face still leads me home.
Bridge
A storm ain’t born to stay forever,
Clouds break open into better weather.
Every flash reminds me who I am—
Not a perfect man…
Just a man who’s never gonna stop choosing you.
If thunder is my weakness,
Then your love is the truth
That echoes through every mountain I climb.
Final Chorus (Soaring)
I’m the thunder, learning when to fall silent,
You’re the lightning making darkness bright again.
Though I fail, though I break,
You’re the reason my heart still wakes.
I may never say “I love you” enough,
But every mile, every scar, every sacrifice does.
Be proud of the man beside you tonight,
Still chasing what’s good, still choosing what’s right.
When the last storm fades into heaven’s blue,
The loudest sound my heart will make…
Will always be,
“I love you.”
Outro (Soft)
When the thunder finally grows still,
And the lightning fades beyond the hills,
You’ll know every storm I walked through
Was only trying to find my way back to you.
If my words were ever too few,
Let my life be the proof…
I’ll love you…
Through every storm…
Until the skies are quiet.
