Lyrics
Intro (instrumental)
Soft piano arpeggios — distant thunder in the low notes.
Verse 1
There was a thunderstorm swirling my path,
Tearing the roots of dreams I had.
I stood in the wreckage hollow inside,
Cried for a hand ,but only the wind replied.
Pre-Chorus
Then through the thunder,
A whisper came near
A voice of mercy, soft but clear:
Chorus
Don’t cry too long, don’t stay in pain,
Crying twice won’t wash the rain.
The storm has passed, just let it be,
Don’t fall into double jeopardy.
Verse 2
I planted hope in the springtime air,
Watched it bloom with tender care.
But when the fall came, my field was bare
Someone had stolen the harvest there.
Pre-Chorus
I clenched my fists,
My heart on fire
Till heaven spoke through a quiet choir:
Chorus
If someone hurts you, let it go free,
Revenge will steal your peace from thee.
Forgive, move on, let your spirit see
Don’t fall into double jeopardy.
Bridge
Life is short time is thin,
Don’t let the darkness live within.
Every tear you cry again
Is one more chain, one more chain.
Final Chorus (softer, rising emotionally)
Don’t cry too long, don’t stay in pain,
Crying twice won’t wash the rain.
Let go, be free, live tenderly
I don’t want double jeopardy.
Outro (instrumental)
(Piano lingers ,a single soft chord fading into silence.)
