SAFE IN THE STORM

Ay — listen. This one’s for the nights we thought we’d drown. Fresh scars, cold streets, you found me by the light of a busted phone, Said my name like a prayer — and suddenly I wasn’t alone. You held my faults like they were treasure, not the pieces I’d thrown away, Turned my quiet into laughter, taught my bad nights how to stay. Coffee-stained mornings, tired eyes but yours stayed bright, You made my small wins feel holy, gave my little prayers flight. I been broken on the corner, learned to hide behind a grin, But your hand on my back pulled me out — let the healing begin. I ain’t perfect, I know that, I stumble, I fall, I roam, But you keep coming, steady, turning this house into home. You keep me safe in the storm, you keep my heart from the road, When the night tries to take me, you shine like something gold. Hold me like the world’s soft, whisper through the alarms, If I’m lost, you’re the map — you keep me safe in the storm. We got promises written on receipts, on backs of old dreams, Kids laughing by the stoop, your shoulder my place to lean. We ain’t flawless — we argue, cry, blame the sky for our pain, But you come back with quiet grace, washed in Sunday rain. I see you in small things — the way you fix my faded tee, The way you forgive my silence, still choose to believe in me. No fancy rings, just late-night prayers, two hearts learning to grow, You taught me how to plant seeds where only fear used to sow. And when doubt knocks like thunder, when the past sings its old song, You hold the light — keep it burning — tell me where I belong. You keep me safe in the storm, you keep my heart from the road, When the night tries to take me, you shine like something gold. Hold me like the world’s soft, whisper through the alarms, If I’m lost, you’re the map — you keep me safe in the storm. Ay — forgive me for the nights I ran, for every lie I told, You stayed, you prayed, you patched my ribs when winters made me cold. I owe you patience, truth, mornings free from regret, I’ll be your shelter, your steady — a vow you won’t forget. We got scars that tell stories, we got songs we ain’t sung, But your laugh is the chorus that keeps me young. No crown, no fame — just your hand in mine, We’ll build something holy, outta scraps and time. You keep me safe in the storm, you keep my heart from the road, When the night tries to take me, you shine like something gold.
