I Heard the Thunder

I heard the thunder, I saw the storm
The day you told me our love was gone
The sky turned dark, my world was forlorn
And my heart was heavy, like a silent dawn


Raindrops fell, a sorrowful cry
Each drop a whisper, each drop a sigh
Sorrow from a heavy sky
As if heaven itself was asking why


Lightning split the dark dome
Now shadows exist where light once shone
In a place we once called home
In the house where love was overthrown


Yet in the midst of the storm, a seed did form
From within the ruins, new life can be born
There is a strength, a peace with a storm
And a dawn must always follow the darkest morn.
