🎵 After the Storm

[1950s soul-blues ballad, slow building into triumphant strength Vocal Feel: Starts tender, grows into power and sunshine — Etta James meets early Aretha Franklin] [Verse 1] The sky was black, the winds ran wild, You tore through my heart like a reckless child. Left broken branches, shattered dreams, But I held my ground through the screams. [Chorus – Slow and steady, rising with hope] 🎶 The storm is over, the clouds roll away, Sunlight's breaking through, makin’ a brand new day. Your winds are dying, your rain's run dry, I’m steppin’ into the sun — kissin’ the sky. 🎶 [Verse 2] You were a whirlwind of lies and pain, A tornado twisting through my veins. But here I stand, stronger than before, My heart ain’t your battleground no more. [Chorus – Louder, stronger] 🎶 The storm is over, the clouds roll away, Sunlight's breaking through, makin’ a brand new day. Your winds are dying, your rain's run dry, I’m steppin’ into the sun — kissin’ the sky. 🎶 [Bridge – Emotional, almost whispered at first] Mmm... Mother Earth, send me a storm of love, Rain down passion and stars above. No more wreckage, no more lies, Just honest hands and faithful eyes... [Final Chorus – Big, strong, free] 🎶 The storm is over, the skies are clear, A new foundation, built on no fear. Your storm is behind me, your darkness done, I’m walkin’ in light... I’m walkin’ in the sun. 🎶 [Outro – Soft and proud] Mmm... I survived your storm... Now I shine...
