YOU ARE THE STORM

The morning dawned with promise

Such a pretty sky

Smiles don't come cheap here

In my unsung life

Mid day brought amazing clouds

Brilliant cotton white

Just big enough, for the sun,

To go and hide behind

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~

Then comes the storm

Shattered windows and broken doors

Black clouds and bitter winds

You are the storm 

The storm that I let in

~~*~~

Your voice deafens like thunder

Fierce stares strike at my heart

The peaceful day is over

Familiar cold and dark

Another day is torn...

You are the storm...

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

You show up to annihilate

Another picture perfect day

Blast in mean and ugly fear

Shift the pleasant beauty here

Everything's transformed...

You are the storm

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

You are the storm

Shattered windows and broken doors

Black clouds and bitter winds

You are the storm 

The storm that I let in

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

You're here to cause me damage

Want me to conform

But I've learned how to weather

Weather any storm
And you are the storm

You are a storm
~~*~~
