Roaring Thunder
by John Mark McMillan

Album: At the Masquerade - Live

Verse 1
You play my world like a song
Like a ghost who walks in and out of my dreams and
Cascades down my walls
With the laughter of children and all their reckless, wild things

Pre-Chorus
Beneath the sound of consummate joy
I'm running over everything I tell myself
Like I could help but avoid
Running back the story that I sell myself on

Chorus
From now on
Everything that happens will happen in the shadow of You
You walked into the room like roaring thunder

Verse 2
You terrify me with ease
And defy all my thoughts that somehow still want to believe
That I could ever be free
On the wandering planes or the waves of my wide-open seas

Pre-Chorus
Are You terraforming my heart?
'Cause I'm running over everything I tell myself
Am I a fool from the start?
Running back the stories that I sell myself on

Chorus
From now on
Everything that happens will happen in the shadow of You
You walked into the room like roaring thunder

Bridge
You flood my house and the walls are turned out with every echo of You
I feel the tremors in my body now
Like roaring thunder

Instrumental Break

Outro
I never could have made You up
With my wildest fabrication
I never could have made You up
With a mile of imagination
With all the colors of a revelation
Still I never could have dreamed You up
I never could have thought of You
You walked into the room like roaring thunder
