After The Storm

Lyrics

Verse 1 The sky turned black where the gulls once flew, The waves rose high and the cold wind blew, Our little boat was a splintered prayer, Lost to the sea somewhere out there. The thunder spoke in a voice so deep, The ocean woke from its restless sleep, We held on tight as the world gave way, And watched our home disappear in the spray. Chorus But the sea could not take your hand from mine, Though it stole our stars and our guiding lines, When the morning came through the shattered gray, You were beside me and we were alive that day. On an island born from the endless blue, With nothing left but the sky and you, The storm had won every battle before— But it left us love upon the shore. Verse 2 We built our fire from the driftwood trees, Learned the language of the tides and breeze, Counted the nights by the moon’s slow climb, Forgot the measure and names of time. No harbor lights and no passing sails, Only the songs of the whales and whales, The world we knew was the world we’d lost, But somehow losing had its cost. Chorus For the sea could not take your hand from mine, Though it stole our stars and our guiding lines, When the morning came through the shattered gray, You were beside me and we were alive that day. On an island born from the endless blue, With nothing left but the sky and you, The storm had won every battle before— But it left us love upon the shore. Bridge Maybe someday there’ll be ships in sight, Smoke on the sea in the morning light, Maybe we’ll leave, maybe we’ll stay, Carried by fate some other way. But if the world never finds this place, If these sands are all that we embrace, Then let the waves tell the story true: I was never stranded here with you. Final Chorus Because the sea could not take your hand from mine, Nor drown the hope between our hearts in time, And every dawn paints the water gold, Where our broken story is retold. On an island hidden from every chart, You became my compass, my map, my heart, The storm took all that we sailed before— And gave us each other upon the shore. Outro So let the oceans remember the night, The thunder, the darkness, the vanishing light, For out of the wreckage and wild unknown, Two drifting souls found a place called home
