groove] (Ohh... yeah... I'm gonna make it... shoo-be-doo...) [Verse 1 – smooth, flowing rhythm, calm phrasing] I'm gonna be better, day by day Watch the clouds slowly drift away Gonna rise up easy, no rush, no fight Let the rhythm guide me through the night No matter the weather, rain or shine I'm holdin' steady, feelin' fine You may not see it, but that's alright Freedom's in my hand, holdin' tight [Pre-Chorus – subtle build, silky delivery] Faith in my arms, wrapped around me warm I stand here faithful, through every storm I know I can... ooh, yes I can... And deep inside, I know you can... [Chorus – groovy yet serene, layered soft harmonies, repeating motif] I'm gonna make it through the storm (through the storm...) Calm in the rhythm, keepin' on (keepin' on...) Whether you understand or not, it's okay Faith liftin' me higher every day Faithful I stand (I stand...), arms open wide I know I can... come stand by my side We're gonna be great (be great...), soft and slow Through the storm... we gently grow... [Verse 2 – even smoother groove, light falsetto touches] Winds may whisper, try to sway my way But I move with the beat, come what may One step at a time, breathin' in the peace Let the music heal, let the worry cease No heavy thunder, just a quiet rain Washin' over me, easin' all the pain With faith as my anchor, steady and true I'm reachin' for greatness... me and you [Pre-Chorus – same gentle rise] Faith in my arms, wrapped around me warm I stand here faithful, through every storm I know I can... ooh, yes I can... And deep inside, I know you can... [Chorus – repeat with soft ad-libs for calm intensity] I'm gonna make it through the storm (ooh, through the storm...) Calm in the rhythm, keepin' on (keepin' on, yeah...) Whether you understand or not, it's okay Faith liftin' me higher every day Faithful I stand (stand tall...), arms open wide I know I can... come stand by my side (come on...) We're gonna be great (be great...), soft and slow Through the storm... we gently grow... (grow...) [Bridge – stripped back, intimate, almost whispered then swelling softly] (Shh... listen... feel it now...) When the night feels long, and the light seems far Hold that faith close, like a guiding star You and me together, in this quiet flow We're unbreakable... don't you know... (Ooh... yeah... we got this...) [Final Chorus – warm fade-in layers, repeating calmly] I'm gonna make it through the storm (through the storm, ooh...) Calm in the rhythm, keepin' on (keepin' on forever...) Whether you understand or not, now you feel Freedom in my hand, faith so real Faithful I stand (I stand...), I know I can (yes I can...) And I know you can... take my hand... We're gonna be great (be great...), soft and slow Through the storm... we gently grow... [Outro – fading groove, echoes] Through the storm... (storm...) Gonna be better... (better...) Faithful I stand... (stand...) We gonna make it... (make it... shoo-be-doo...) Yeah... calm and free... through the storm...
