Needtobreathe's "Hurricane" is a rock anthem that uses the metaphor of an approaching storm to depict the consequences of poor choices and the struggle with guilt and pride. The song acknowledges human foolishness and the tendency to ignore warnings, yet it also carries a thread of hope, as the narrator seeks to break free from past patterns and find redemption. The lyrics move from a place of regret to a determination to stand up and change, suggesting a spiritual awakening and a desire to turn pain into glory. It's a powerful call to confront one's faults and embrace a new path.

In the fallout now
It's hard to feel like we can turn around
With the damage done
It's hard to see how far we've come
We could not be proud
Of where our feet have walked along the ground
In the silence now
We play it back and forwards again
There's a sound in our guiltiness
It's a warning bell that rings
It's a call for our lonliness
And we can't see
We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
Its like a hurricane is coming our way
We've all been warned but we still chose to stay
I can't believe it now the time has come
Play the victim here
You know it's nothing but your pride and fear
But the more you hurt
The more you love the one you were
There's a sound in our guiltiness
It's a warning bell that rings
It's a call for our lonliness
And we can't see
We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
Its like a hurricane is coming our way
We've all been warned but we still chose to stay
I can't believe it now the time has come
In the light of the mourning
Can we change what we felt and heard
Can we turn it into the glory
Break the paths of our fathers before us
Though we stand on the outside
We will find what we once believed
And will crawl our way to the clear skies
Standing up we are
Standing up we are
We roll the dice we play like fools
We plead with time to change the rules
Its like a hurricane is coming our way
We've all been warned but we still chose to stay
I can't believe it now the time has come
