Built for the Storm (Hard Rock)
[Verse 1] She grew up in the haze of a bottle’s last call, Mama gone missing when the shadows would fall. Anger burned quiet, a fire in her chest, Learned to stand steady when the world wouldn’t rest. I was raised in the thunder of a father’s rage, Every word like a whip, every day a new cage. Didn’t know my real blood, just the ghost of his name, Drowned my own echoes in whiskey and shame. [Pre-Chorus] Two broken kids with the scars to prove, Carrying weight we never got to choose. [Chorus] God must’ve carved us from the same wild tree, Roots tangled deep where the hurt used to be. Your pain taught you patience, mine taught me to stay— We were built for the storm, never walked away. Yeah, we were built for the storm, and we’re still standing today. [Verse 2] She saw the tremble in my shaking hands, Didn’t flinch when the nights got out of hand. I heard the silence when her mama’s name came, Held her like thunder don’t always mean blame. We fought like the devil, we cried like the rain, But leaving each other never eased the pain. Every crack in our hearts let the light shine through, Turned our old wounds into something true. [Pre-Chorus] Two mismatched pieces that somehow fit right, Love ain’t the calm—it’s the will to fight. [Chorus] God must’ve carved us from the same wild tree, Roots tangled deep where the hurt used to be. Your past made you gentle when I fell apart, Mine made me steady to guard your heart. Yeah, we were built for the storm, and we’re still standing today. [Bridge] Now we’ve got little ones with our eyes and our fire, Teaching them love don’t mean walking on wire. Every scream that we survived, every bottle we broke, Is a brick in the home where our future’s spoke. [Final Chorus] God must’ve known what the years would demand, Gave me your heart and you my steady hand. I’m the man that I am ‘cause you never let go, And I’ll love you forever—through the high and the low. Yeah, we were built for the storm, and we’ll weather what may, With our kids and our scars, we’re still standing today. [Outro] Built for the storm… And I wouldn’t trade one single day.
