Stormy Skies from Wilderness Explorers by Kary Dujuan Goff Jr

Stormy Skies

(Intro – Rain sounds, mellow guitar loop, deep inhale)
Yeah…
Sometimes you try and try…
And still feel like the villain.

(Verse 1)
No matter how hard I try,
I’m cast as the bad guy —
Villin' in someone’s story
‘Til the day I die.

They don’t see the tries,
Just the trips I take,
Ignore the climb,
Point at every mistake.

But I’ve tried — not once, not twice,
I’ve bled effort, paid full price.
Even when I failed, I still got up,
Face in the mud but heart stay tough.

And yeah, sometimes I cry,
When the weight press down from the sky.
But I let it pass —
Storms don’t last,
And I walk on shards of my shattered past.

(Hook)
So I walk through stormy skies,
Rain pour truth in front my eyes.
Don’t despise the water that falls,
It just tryna wash the lies off the walls.

Every drop tell me I’m still alive,
So I open up wide and let my soul revive.
Even when grey clouds block my rise,
I keep walkin’…
Through stormy skies.

(Verse 2)
The rain soaked my clothes — my pride,
Tried to shame me from the inside.
But I learned not to run from the downpour,
It’s the only thing that don’t lie no more.

See, people will frame you in the dark,
Blame your cracks, ignore your spark.
But storms? They reveal what’s real,
Peel back wounds you ain’t let heal.

So I let the rain fall like truth,
Let it hit my roof,
Wash my youth,
Clean my roots.

They said I’d never grow from pain,
But look again — I’m bloomin’ in the rain.

(Bridge – Spoken softly with thunder crackling)
They told me to hate the rain.
But I realized…
The storm was sent to cleanse,
Not to condemn.

(Hook – Repeat with vocal layers)
So I walk through stormy skies,
Rain pour truth in front my eyes.
Don’t despise the water that falls,
It just tryna wash the lies off the walls.

Every drop tell me I’m still alive,
So I open up wide and let my soul revive.
Even when grey clouds block my rise,
I keep walkin’…
Through stormy skies.

(Outro – Rain fades to quiet, birds chirp faintly)
So call me villain…
Call me flawed…
But I’m still walkin’ —
Through every fraud.
With eyes open wide,
And feet soaked in truth…
Through stormy skies.
