Lightning Calls Shawneen

Whoa-oh-oh! (yeah)

She walked through the fire with rain in her eyes,

Carried every scar like a truth she survived.

They tried to tell her who she had to be,

But the storm kept whispering,

“Girl, you were born free.” She learned how to stand when the

whole world shook, Stopped believing every lie they wrote in the book.

Now when the thunder rolls across the midnight sky,

She lifts her head and lets the whole world hear her cry.

She doesn’t need permission,

She doesn’t need a crown.

Every time they pushed her under,

She came back stronger

somehow.

LIGHTNING KNOWS HER NAME — SHAWNEEN!

The heavens light up when she walks through the rain.

She’s got fire in her heart,

thunder in her veins,

She’s been broken, she’s been tested,

But she rises again.

LIGHTNING KNOWS HER NAME — SHAWNEEN!

She doesn’t run when the wild storm came.

She stands in the darkness and turns it to flame— SHE IS

THE DIVINE, AND LIGHTNING KNOWS HER NAME.

Whoa-oh-oh! Lightning knows her name!

She’s loved too hard,

she’s trusted too deep,

Stayed awake while the rest of the world went to sleep.

She knows what it means when a heart falls apart,

And how you build another future from the pieces of your heart.

She doesn’t need diamonds hanging from her skin,

Her beauty comes from everything she carries within.

She’s the voice in the silence,

the light through the rain,

The woman who learned how to turn every wound into strength.

No more hiding in shadows,

No more making herself small.

She was never born to disappear— She was born to stand tall.

Maybe being divine Was never about being above anyone.

Maybe it means loving After everything you’ve been through.

Maybe it means standing

When your knees want to fall.

Maybe

the strongest woman

Is the one who still loves at all.

So let the clouds roll in.

Let the heavens break.

She’s done being afraid Of how much power she can take.

Let the thunder talk.

Let the whole sky change.

Tonight the universe is shouting— SHAWNEEN!

LIGHTNING KNOWS HER NAME — SHAWNEEN!

Raise your hands while the thunder shakes.

She crossed every river,

she survived every flame,

And she’ll never let another soul Tell her who she became.

LIGHTNING KNOWS HER NAME —

SHAWNEEN! Let the whole damn world remember the name.

She’s heart, she’s soul,

She’s wild, she’s brave— SHE IS THE DIVINE,

AND LIGHTNING KNOWS HER NAME!

Whoa-oh-oh! SHAWNEEN!

Whoa-oh-oh! Stand in the rain!

Whoa-oh-oh! Let the whole sky say—

LIGHTNING KNOWS HER NAME!

When the storm finally passes And morning touches the ground,

She won’t need anybody

To tell her what she found.

She’ll look toward the heavens With

no fear and no shame— And somewhere in the distance,

The lightning will call her name.
