Storm Inside from Wilderness Explorers by Kary Dujuan Goff Jr

Storm Inside

(Verse 1)
Always cryin’, never tryin’ just to get by,
Feelin' stuck in a space where you barely try.
You ask — “Do they fear what’s near?”
But how can you reach it if you stay right here?

Fears hold tight, but they loosen in prayer,
I called on God — and silence filled the air.
Crying don’t move you, it just reminds,
You’re still in the place you left behind.

Tears flow straight from the heart,
Pain got a grip, tearin' both sides apart.
Brain and soul — untamed in pain,
Feelin’ like you lost what it means to be sane.

Rain pourin’, now it floodin' the mind,
Heart songs loopin’ — always behind.
The storms scream truths that the world won’t see,
But deep in the flood, it’s hard to breathe.

(Hook)
You don’t gotta drown in the storm inside,
You don’t gotta break just to feel alive.
Your worth ain't built on what others choose,
You got a voice — it’s yours to use.

Focus on you, let the light come through,
Build peace in a world that tries to undo.
Let the breeze hit your soul and just breathe,
There’s freedom in the quiet — just believe.

(Verse 2)
You don’t owe your pain to make them grow,
That’s for them to learn — that’s their road.
Your mental health ain’t some tool to lend,
You deserve love that don’t pretend.

Take a break from the noise and lies,
There’s a world inside where peace still hides.
Mine’s a canvas the Lord designed,
Blue skies stretchin’ with ease in mind.

Waves kiss the bay at the edge of green,
And I sit by the oak where I feel unseen.
Legs crossed, spirit tossed in the breeze,
Contemplatin' how to feel truly free.

(Hook – Repeat)
You don’t gotta drown in the storm inside,
You don’t gotta break just to feel alive.
Your worth ain't built on what others choose,
You got a voice — it’s yours to use.

Focus on you, let the light come through,
Build peace in a world that tries to undo.
Let the breeze hit your soul and just breathe,
There’s freedom in the quiet — just believe.

(Outro – Spoken)
Even in the storm, even in the strain,
There’s a version of you not touched by pain.
Ask God, feel the tears dry away,
And find yourself again — in the calm of the day.
