[Verse]
The sky turned to charcoal,
the water began to test,
every joint and the heart of the man.
The lightning was screaming,
the thunder was loud.
But I am the lightning,
inside of the cloud.
The walls didn't shiver, the glass didn't crack.
I stood in the doorway and I didn't look back.
[Chorus]
1 am the structure, 1 am the base
Foundation set in the holy placel show no fear, I show no ghostl stand my ground at the outer postHe leads the way, He holds the lightl am the pillar in the dead of night.
[Verse 2]
The mud is a river, the wind is a gale.
Looking for a weakness, looking for a fail.
But the roots of this mountain go deeper than sight.
Anchored in glory, protected by might.
Let the hurricane whistle, let the ocean rise.
I see the calm through the Creator's eyes.
The storm is a teacher, the storm is a test.
And I’m the only thing standing when the wind goes to rest.
[Chorus]
1 am the structure, 1 am the base
Foundation set in the holy placel show no fear, I show no ghostl stand my ground at the outer postHe leads the way, He holds the lightl am the pillar in the dead of night.
[Outro] [Sound of rain hitting metal, fading into a low "Om" hum.]
Om hum
(Om hum)
