This started out as a lyric about a relative who is coping with epileptic seizures, but then I decided to write the lyric more generally about someone coming through mental trauma and finding the path to healing.

Lyrics

Bb major
Verse
Bb. Ab
A cloudburst crashes in your mind
Cm Bb
A downpour no one sees
Bb Ab
Electric currents make you (feel) blind
Cm. Bb
Trying to make sense of the (debris- need to change pronunciation?) OR You feel scared and weak
Eb. F
Thoughts like thunder spin around OR Thoughts like thunder spin you round
Gm D
Turbulence but you hold on tight
Eb. F
Trying (so) hard to rebound OR It's not gonna keep you down
Gm D
Always seems like another fight OR You're ready for the fight

Chorus

Gm D/F#
Lightning storms shake you to the core
F C/E
And it breaks me that it's happening more
Gm D/F#
I’d do anything to take away your pain
F C/E
And see your light (beam through) again. Eb- F

Verse

I'll be with you through this struggle
Till you are safe from harm
When the clouds drift and the wind is still
They'll be or (We’ll find) shelter in the calm

Chorus

Lightning storms shake you to the core
And it breaks me that it is happening more
I’d do anything to take away your pain
And see the sunlight beam through again


Bridge

F Gm Eb
You’re brighter than any darkness in your sky
F Gm Eb F
And stronger than you'll ever know


Chorus

Lightning storms shake you to the core
And it breaks me that it is happening more
I’d do anything to take away your pain
And see the sunlight beam through again
