Calm Within the Storm

Every tear and every bruise and every pain

I've been hurricaned

Every wreckage in the wind and what remains

Every miracle

Like the winter when I went off of the road

Felt the darkness of the water and cold

But I decided I'm not dying alone

And her voice could carry me home

To the calm within the storm

That I'd been living in

And to all I had to learn

Through every hard thing

My mother tried in so many ways

Telling it to me every day

Until I learned on my own to say:

I am ok

Doesn't mean just ‘cause we can carry it well

That it's not a heavy load

There's a world of people that you could never tell

Are barely breathing now

As they're driving they might end up off the road

Probably thinking that they're dying alone

But in the dark all that I want 'em to know

Is I can see you

Cause I have been you

There's a calm within the storm

That you've been living in

There's a lot you're gonna learn

Through every hard thing

My mother always said it to me

Even though I couldn't believe

Till I travelled through the stormiest seas

I am ok

There's a calm within the storm

That we've been living in

There's a lot we're gonna learn

Through every hard thing

There's a bond within our bones

That's always been

My mother tried in so many ways

Telling it to me every day

Until I learned on my own to say:

I am ok
