[Verse 1]
I’ve walked through nights that never ended,
Carried pain I couldn’t name,
Every scar became a question,
Every dream went up in flames.
There were days my heart felt empty,
And I kept going anyway.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still hear you calling
From somewhere past the rain
A little spark keeps falling
And I don’t break the same
[Chorus]
After the storm
I’m still here (still here)
After the storm
I can hear love near
After the storm
The sky comes clear
(After the storm)
I rise again
[Verse 2]
I learned to hold the broken
Like a rose in my hand
Every no became a doorway
Every loss became a stand
Now the ground don’t scare me
I know what my bones can stand
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still hear you calling
From somewhere past the rain
A little spark keeps falling
And I don’t break the same
[Chorus]
After the storm
I’m still here (still here)
After the storm
I can hear love near
After the storm
The sky comes clear
(After the storm)
I rise again
[Bridge]
Let it rain, let it shake me
I was built for this bend
All the tears that tried to take me
Made a river to the end
And I’ll walk through the thunder
With your hand in mine
[Final Chorus]
After the storm
I’m still here (still here)
After the storm
I can hear love near
After the storm
The sky comes clear
(After the storm)
I rise again
After the storm
I’m not afraid
(After the storm)
I rise again
I’ve walked through nights that never ended,
Carried pain I couldn’t name,
Every scar became a question,
Every dream went up in flames.
There were days my heart felt empty,
And I kept going anyway.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still hear you calling
From somewhere past the rain
A little spark keeps falling
And I don’t break the same
[Chorus]
After the storm
I’m still here (still here)
After the storm
I can hear love near
After the storm
The sky comes clear
(After the storm)
I rise again
[Verse 2]
I learned to hold the broken
Like a rose in my hand
Every no became a doorway
Every loss became a stand
Now the ground don’t scare me
I know what my bones can stand
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still hear you calling
From somewhere past the rain
A little spark keeps falling
And I don’t break the same
[Chorus]
After the storm
I’m still here (still here)
After the storm
I can hear love near
After the storm
The sky comes clear
(After the storm)
I rise again
[Bridge]
Let it rain, let it shake me
I was built for this bend
All the tears that tried to take me
Made a river to the end
And I’ll walk through the thunder
With your hand in mine
[Final Chorus]
After the storm
I’m still here (still here)
After the storm
I can hear love near
After the storm
The sky comes clear
(After the storm)
I rise again
After the storm
I’m not afraid
(After the storm)
I rise again
Musikstil
Pop ballad with half-time pulse, warm piano arpeggios, soft kick and snapped snare; verse stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus lifts with layered strings and filtered cymbal swells, chorus opens wide with stacked harmonies and a rising drum pattern. Lead vocal is close-mic and fragile in verses, doubled on key lines, with breathy ad-libs and echo throws on the hook. Ear candy: reversed piano swell into each chorus, bell chimes between phrases, final lift with wide choir pads. Bright, emotional, and polished.
