Verse 1
There’s a fire in the chest tonight
Been sleeping there for years
Hidden underneath the quiet
Under kindness and the tears.
It wasn’t safe to feel it then
A child had to survive
So the anger turned to silence
Just to keep the heart alive.
Chorus
Let the fire burn a while
Let the storm roll through
It’s not here to destroy you
It’s remembering the truth.
Old anger finding daylight
Old voices finding sound
Sometimes healing looks like thunder
When the buried pain comes round.
Verse 2
The mind looks for a target
Points a finger at the sky
At presidents and strangers
And the reasons people lie.
But deeper than the shouting
Something tender waits to rise
A love that wanted safety
In a frightened child’s eyes.
Chorus
Let the fire burn a while
Let the storm roll through
It’s not here to destroy you
It’s remembering the truth.
Old anger finding daylight
Old voices finding sound
Sometimes healing looks like thunder
When the buried pain comes round.
Bridge
Underneath the raging wave
There’s a heart that learned to bend
And the child who once was helpless
Is finally heard again.
Final Chorus
Let the fire warm the night
Let the wind be strong
Even storms belong to healing
When they’ve waited this long.
Old anger turning to sunlight
Old shadows losing ground
Sometimes love comes roaring back
When the truth is finally found.
