[Intro – warm acoustic guitar, soft steel guitar] [Verse 1] I thought the dark would never break Thought I’d gone too far to change Too much behind me I can’t undo Too many bridges I burned clean through Then one night the noise died down And I finally heard the sound Of something softer than I’d heard before “Come home.” [Chorus 1] After the storm After the breaking When all you’ve got Is a heart still aching You don’t need answers You don’t need more Just bring what’s left After the storm [Verse 2] I spent years outrunning grace Trying not to face my own mistakes But mercy never asked me where I’d been It just left the light on and let me in Right there where the road ran out Where I had nothing left to prove I heard, “You don’t have to hide from Me” [Chorus 2] After the storm After the running When all you’ve got Is a heart still wanting You don’t need perfect You don’t need more Just bring what’s left I’ll meet you there After the storm [Bridge – stripped acoustic and steel] Maybe grace ain’t changing Every mile behind Maybe grace is knowing You can still come home tonight No perfect past No grand reward Just a broken heart And an open door [Final Chorus – full band lift] After the storm After the breaking After the years You thought you wasted You don’t need perfect You don’t need more Bring Me your heart I know what it’s for There’s still a light There’s still a door There’s still a way home After the storm [Outro – acoustic guitar, steel guitar] The thunder’s gone The porch light’s on And mercy waits After the storm
