[Intro](rain falling, a single piano line like water, distant thunder, a harp glissando like lightning made beautiful)[Verse 1 — soaring female lead]Storm warning on a Friday night, the whole town went insideI took the old truck down the flooded streets just to feel it aliveThunder in the mirror, lightning showing me the wayI wasn't running from the storm — the storm was where I stayed[Pre-Chorus — female lead, building]'Cause I'm a child of the rain, water-sign heartI never learned to bow when the sky falls apartSome pray for the sun, I was made for the floodHeavy weather on the windshield — that's the closest I get to God[Verse 2]The coast caught the worst of it, we caught the light showHeaven opened over Texas like a river let goI watched it from the front seat, my own private warEverybody wants the sunshine — I kept praying for more[Chorus — female lead, layered female harmonies hanging]When the ones you love get scattered and the sky won't hold its tongueWhen a family blows apart like the worst storm to comeNo matter what breaks, no matter how longWe'll always be strong — Storm StrongWe'll always be Storm Strong[Verse 3]There was a crew I loved like brothers, and the wind took them tooNot a hurricane — just people doing what people doI sat in the wreckage where a family used to beAnd I swore on the rain: what survives is me[Bridge — low male vocal counter under the lead]Then the bus rolled out that morning, all the colors riding throughYellow on the lightning, blue on the ice, red on the fire tooThree storms under one roof and the heavens came to pourBut we weren't hiding from the weather — we were the storm on wheels[Instrumental — war drums and electric harp](rolling war drums and electric harp trading lightning, guitar storm overhead, female voices hanging like rain in the light)[Final Chorus — lead and full band, huge]When YOUR sky turns black and the sirens singHold on to each other like the last warm thingNo matter what breaks, no matter how longWe'll always be strong — Storm StrongThis is Storm Strong[Outro — crowd chant, gang vocals](sunset keys, storm rolling out, harmonies stacked, gang vocals)Sunset burning through the back of the stormThat was the night we learned what we were forSTORM! STRONG! STORM! STRONG!(crowd stomping, clapping — the crew's rally cry)Storm Strong... Storm Strong...(thunder fading like it's leaving town)
