[Intro - Atmospheric, calm water pad, single clean guitar ringing, heartbeat punk drums, whispered] Seven stages... I've walked them all... [Verse 1] I've lived it, I've tested it, bled through every stage Seven levels of grief, seven turns of the page Been above it, been below it, been around the whole world Seen the chaos, seen the calm, seen the flags unfurl [Pre-Chorus] You can be IN the storm, or you can BECOME the storm You can chase the stillness, or be one with the calm I'm becoming one - with the chaos and the noise With the love and the peace, with the storm and the joy Yin and yang, good, bad, ugly, all pieces of the whole One foot in the water, one foot on the land More than just a mere man - I'm becoming one![Chorus] [Verse 2] Most people don't know, they run from the rain They don't know the thunder hides the DNA But I learned to stand boldly where the raging waters meet the sun Puzzle pieces snapping - blue and gold become one [Bridge - Emo breakdown, soft then roaring] I've been broken, I've been holy I've been the storm and the stillness Been the sinner, been the soldier Now I see it for what it is... [Final Chorus - Big, anthemic] I'm becoming one! (with the chaos!) I'm becoming one! (with the peace!) Everything working together, even the stormy weather! One foot in the water, one foot on the land I'm more than just a mere man - I'm becoming ONE! [Outro - Spoken Word, Slow, Powerful] Stage One: Shock... numb to the pain Stage Two: Denial... said it wasn't real Stage Three: Anger... cursed the pouring rain Stage Four: Bargaining... begging God to make a deal Stage Five: Depression... drowned in raging waters deep Stage Six: Testing... one foot on land, one in the sea Stage Seven: Acceptance... finally I see... [Instrumental Break - Fade Out, soft pad, water sounds, whispered fade] 7 stages I've walked them all...
