The clouds roll in, the sky turns gray,
A warning in the winds that sway.
The ocean stirs, the calm won’t last,
We brace ourselves for what’s coming fast.
The morning light reveals what’s gone,
Trees lie broken, the streets undone.
Windows shattered, homes laid low,
But in the quiet, new seeds will grow.
We gather the pieces, hearts heavy with pain,
Yet we stand together, through loss and gain.
After the storm, we rise again (we rise again),
Stronger than we were back then (way back then).
Through wind and rain, through darkest night (until the morning light),
We find the strength to hold on tight. (hold on tight)
In the face of all that’s torn,
Hope remains after the storm.
The wind roared like a beast untamed,
Floodwaters rose, nothing stayed the same.
The eye brought silence, a fleeting calm,
Before the storm returned with violent psalms.
Rain fell heavy, drowning the land,
Danger danced where we used to stand.
After the storm, we rise again (we rise again),
Stronger than we were back then (way back then).
Through wind and rain, through darkest night (until the morning light),
We find the strength to hold on tight
In the face of all that’s torn,
Hope remains after the storm.
The skies will clear, (the sun will shine),
We rebuild with hope that’s always been mine.
Though hurricanes tear through our way,
We stand tall, (come what may).
In every broken piece, we see,
The strength of our humanity.
After the storm, we rise again (rise again)
Stronger than we were back then. (way back then)
Through wind and rain, through darkest night, (til morning light)
We find the strength to hold on tight. (hold on tight)
Though nature’s wrath may take its form,
We find our hope, after the storm.
The winds have calmed, but hearts still ache,
In the rubble, dreams awake.
We’ll rebuild stronger, and weather the fight,
There’s always hope after the darkest night.
