The Kindest Thunder

They say that it's just natural, something big is coming for me from the West
So I run through rain, and I shelter in the home she made I hope and pray will last
The thunder rolls forever, every green leaf quivers in the shaking breath
Though the clouds are heavy overhead, this garden gets the gentlest caress
The world I know is stalling, I'm digging deep but nothing helps
The things to be unsaid weigh heavy in my chest
The summer storm is calling, the saddest rain that ever fell
But the kindest thunder says that she is blessed

This place like any other, you don't feel it deep unless it is your home
And you don't have to like it, the soil that says how high and far you'll go
Lands I've seen a-plenty, but it's not them I'm seeing when I cry alone
The home that I sent letters to, well I guess I'll love it better now it's gone
The world I know is stalling, not God nor jack nor friendship helps
Things I never said will never let me rest
The summer storm is calling, the saddest rain that ever fell
But the kindest thunder says now she can rest

Now I'm staying nearby but I'm standing in the garden that she grew
She knows what's in our nature, I can hear her say there's more to life than win or lose
She gave more than she was, she only asked to see them grow
A gentle creed that quivers in the breeze and keeps the faith when hope is low
The world I know is stalling, I'm digging deep but nothing helps
The things to be unsaid weigh heavy in my chest
The summer storm is calling, the saddest rain that ever fell
But the kindest thunder says that she is blessed
The world I know is stalling, not love nor liquor or helping helps
And the things I never said will never let me rest
The summer storm is calling, the saddest rain that ever fell
But the kindest thunder says now she can rest
