Quiet Lightning

[Verse 1]
Quiet lightning rolling
I can feel the tide inside
Something distant keeps unfolding
Like a door I cannot hide

I have carried old conclusions
Like a coat I never chose
Worn through seasons of confusion
Still believing no one knows

[Pre-Chorus]
But the morning keeps arriving
Even after longest nights
And the pieces I was hiding
Look different in the light

[Chorus]
Maybe hope is not a thunder
Maybe hope is something small
A hand reaching through the darkness
A voice answering the call

Maybe healing is not knowing
How the ending will unfold
Just believing there is somewhere
Past the places I grew cold

[Verse 2]
I have chased a thousand futures
Till I lost the present tense
Built my walls from expectations
Called the distance common sense

But the years have made me softer
Not in weakness, not in fear
I can finally see the beauty
In the things that disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
Every road I thought had broken
Left a path I couldn’t see
Every word I left unspoken
Still became a part of me

[Chorus]
Maybe hope is not a thunder
Maybe hope is something small
A hand reaching through the darkness
A voice answering the call

Maybe healing is not knowing
How the ending will unfold
Just believing there is somewhere
Past the places I grew cold

[Bridge]
I don’t need to be the person
I imagined long ago
I can bless the roads behind me
And still choose another road

Let the old fears lose their language
Let the future stay unknown
I have spent enough time proving
I can learn to just be home

[Final Chorus]
Maybe hope is quiet lightning
Rolling underneath the skin
Not a promise of perfection
Just the courage to begin

And the tide inside keeps turning
Pulling everything toward light
I don’t need to know the ending
I just need to walk tonight

[Outro]
Quiet lightning rolling
I can feel the tide inside
And for once I’m not resisting
Where the current wants to guide
