[Spoken Dedication] For anyone who's ever carried heavy days, fought through the noise, and still kept going. This is my story. [Verse 1] Sky turns dark on the cane-field plain Air sits still before the rain Everything’s quiet, everything’s low Waitin’ for the first wind blow Sometimes it feels like that for me — Still and waitin’, hard to see What’s comin’ next, which way to turn Where the calm ends and the fire will burn [Pre-Chorus] I feel it buildin’ deep inside Like the storm that’s gonna ride Across the red-dirt, across the bay — Gonna break into the day [Chorus] Quiet before the gust — the calm is only temporary! Quiet before the gust — the storm is gettin’ ready! Quiet before the gust — I’m standin’ where the shadows thrust! Quiet before the gust — but I’m ready for the dust! Quiet before the gust — the calm is only temporary! Quiet before the gust — the storm is gettin’ ready! Quiet before the gust — I’m standin’ where the shadows thrust! Quiet before the gust — but I’m ready for the dust! [Verse 2] You can’t hold back the wind for long Can’t stop the storm from comin’ on Can’t keep the sun from sinkin’ down Can’t keep the whole world safe and sound But you can choose where you plant your feet Choose how you stand when the winds meet Choose to hold on when the sky turns grey Choose to face the harder day [Pre-Chorus] I feel it buildin’ deep inside Like the storm that’s gonna ride Across the red-dirt, across the bay — Gonna break into the day [Chorus] Quiet before the gust — the calm is only temporary! Quiet before the gust — the storm is gettin’ ready! Quiet before the gust — I’m standin’ where the shadows thrust! Quiet before the gust — but I’m ready for the dust! Quiet before the gust — the calm is only temporary! Quiet before the gust — the storm is gettin’ ready! Quiet before the gust — I’m standin’ where the shadows thrust! Quiet before the gust — but I’m ready for the dust! [Bridge] It might shake me, it might bend me It won’t break me, won’t end me! When the wind hits hard and fast — I’m gonna make it last! [Final Chorus] Quiet before the gust — the calm is only temporary! Quiet before the gust — the storm is gettin’ ready! Quiet before the gust — I’m standin’ where the shadows thrust! Quiet before the gust — but I’m ready for the dust! [Outro] Heavy guitar and rising wind sound
