No Thunder Needed

[Intro] No thunder needed No sky split in two [Verse 1] I used to wait for the heavens to move For some great shudder, some proof I could use Something loud enough to drown out doubt Something bright enough to call me out But the truest things I’ve come to know Never kicked the door or stole the show They came in plain, they came in slow And stayed long after the feeling went [Pre-Chorus] Not every turning Needs a scene Not every healing Needs to bleed to be believed [Chorus] No thunder needed No sign in the sky No great burning language No reason why Just one clear step One honest breath One thing held steady In the face of it No thunder needed [Verse 2] I have mistaken noise for depth Mistaken damage for the truth Thought if it hurt enough to name It had to mean something more But peace has quieter ways And change can happen under speech Like roots in dark earth Doing their work without applause [Pre-Chorus] Not every answer Arrives as fire Some things get holier The less they need desire [Chorus] No thunder needed No sign in the sky No great burning language No reason why Just one clear step One honest breath One thing held steady In the face of it No thunder needed [Bridge] Let it be small Let it be true Let it come without spectacle And still come through Let it be quiet Let it remain I am done needing pain To make a thing feel named [Final Chorus] No thunder needed No flood, no flare Just the light staying long enough To find me there One clear step One honest breath One life still opening Without the wreck of it No thunder needed [Outro] No sky split in two Still it was true
