After the Storm, We Fade to Light

Lyrics :

This isn’t the end.
It just looks like silence.
And silence is where truth finally speaks.

I’ve walked with doubt in my shadow
Every step heavy with ghosts
Tried to outrun what I felt inside
Like pain would loosen its hold

I thought strength meant never bending
Never asking, never slowing down
But even mountains learn surrender
When the night pulls the daylight out

Some doors don’t open with force
They open when you stop pushing

When the rain finally lets you breathe
When the sky remembers how to be
Blue again, calm again
You’ll see why you had to wait

Not every ending is a loss
Some are quiet ways across
This was never where you fall
This was where you learned to stand

I’ve seen the cracks in the mirror
Seen the man I almost became
If I let the storm define me
If I let the dark choose my name

But time has a strange way of teaching
Without shouting, without blame
It strips you down to your heartbeat
And asks you who you’ll be when it fades

You don’t heal by going back
You heal by staying present

When the rain finally lets you breathe
When your hands stop trembling
You’ll feel it — peace isn’t loud
It doesn’t beg, it doesn’t shout

You survived what tried to break you
You outlasted what you couldn’t fight
This was never about the storm
It was about protecting your light

Some people run from the rain.
Others learn when to wait.
Because wings aren’t made for storms…
They’re made for what comes after.

So if you’re tired, rest right here
The night is done, the dawn is near
You don’t have to prove a thing
You already crossed the sea

Let the past release its grip
Let tomorrow come as it is
This isn’t fear you feel right now
It’s the calm before your flight

The storm is over.
You can go.
