11. Born Into the Thunder

[Verse 1] I wonder why the heavens cry Why love can rot but still won’t die Why trust walks out in a borrowed coat And silence wraps around your throat I wonder why the good go first Why mothers kneel down in the dirt Why war feels holy in the hands of men Why peace don’t come ‘til the bitter end ⸻ [Chorus] Maybe we were born into the thunder Maybe sorrow is the seed But I still drag this heart from under And try to plant something it can feed I was not made for chains or comfort Even pain can be a sign So if I’m walking through the fire I’ll let it make the gold from mine ⸻ [Verse 2] I wonder why the soul still aches Why joy slips off like a frozen lake Why mercy hides and grief stays loud Why the sky won’t speak but wears a shroud I wonder if the wounds we keep Are doors for light when we can’t sleep Why truth comes late and dressed in black Why every loss still leads us back ⸻ [Chorus] Maybe we were born into the thunder Maybe sorrow is the seed But I still drag this heart from under And try to plant something it can feed I was not made for chains or comfort Even pain can be a sign So if I’m walking through the fire I’ll let it make the gold from mine ⸻ [Bridge] Oh the weight is real, the world is torn But even thorns can crown the worn And if I was cursed, it wasn’t to die It was to live, and to testify ⸻ [Final Chorus] Yeah we were born into the thunder But there’s a melody inside I still sing though my voice might shudder I still believe there’s something right I was not made for shame or silence Even storms can prophesy So if I’m walking through the fire Let it burn off every lie
