(Vocals
are
soft,
weary
but
resolute.
Accompanied
mainly
by
the
guitar
and
a
soft
bass
note.)
The
alarm
clock
screams
at
five
AM
She's
up
before
the
light
Two
little
mouths
to
feed
and
dress
And
a
world
to
set
to
right
The
coffee's
black,
the
checkbook's
thin
She's
got
a
plan
for
every
dime
There's
a
fire
in
her
weary
bones
That's
been
burning
since
their
first
cry (
Pre-Chorus - 0:55
-1:10) (
The
music
swells
slightly,
drums
enter
with
a
steady
heartbeat
kick.)
They
don't
see
the
fear
she
swallows
down
They
just
see
the
smile
she
wears
They
don't
know
she's
building
them
a
castle
From
the
weight
that
she
can
bear (
Chorus - 1:10
-1:45) (
Full
band
kicks
in.
Drums
are
powerful,
guitars
are
ringing.
Vocals
are
strong
and
passionate.)
She's
the
anchor
and
the
storm
She's
the
shelter
from
the
rain
She's
the
warrior
in
the
kitchen
Turning
love
into
a
chain
That
holds
them
all
together
When
the
whole
world
comes
apart
She's
a
single,
sacred
fire
Burning
fierce
inside
her
heart
She's
the
anchor
and
the
storm (
Verse 2 - 1:45
-2:20) (
Music
pulls
back
a
little,
back
to
a
driving
verse.
Vocals
are
a
bit
grittier,
more
determined.)
She
works
the
double
shift
for
them
And
never
once
complains
Her
back
is
sore,
her
feet
are
tired
But
she
carries
all
the
pain
She'll
skip
a
meal,
she'll
patch
a
coat
She'll
fight
a
world
that's
cold
and
vast
Just
to
see
them
safe
and
sleeping
And
to
hear
their
happy
laugh (
Pre-Chorus - 2:20
-2:35) (
Music
builds
again,
more
intense
than
before.)
They
don't
see
the
tears
she
hides
away
They
just
see
the
strength
she
shows
And
with
every
single
sacrifice
Her
endless
river
grows (
Chorus - 2:35
-3:10) (
Explodes
with
even
more
power.
This
is
the
emotional
peak.)
She's
the
anchor
and
the
storm!
She's
the
shelter
from
the
rain!
She's
the
anchor
and
the
storm!
She's
the
shelter
from
the
rain!
She's
the
warrior
in
the
kitchen
Turning
love
into
a
chain
That
holds
them
all
together
When
the
whole
world
comes
apart!
She's
a
single,
sacred
fire
Burning
fierce
inside
her
heart!
She's
the
anchor
and
the
storm! (
Bridge - 3:10
-3:30) (
Music
becomes
quieter,
just
piano
and
a
single,
passionate
vocal
line.
A
moment
of
raw
emotion.)
And
they'll
never
know
the
price
she
paid...
The
dreams
she
laid
upon
the
shelf...
But
when
they
wrap
their
arms
around
her...
She
finds
a
piece
of
herself... (
Final
Chorus - 3:30
-4:00) (
Builds
back
up
to
a
huge,
triumphant
finish.
Key
change
up
a
half-step
for
extra
power.)
She's
the
ANCHOR
and
the
STORM!
She's
the
SHELTER
from
the
RAIN!
She's
the
WARRIOR
in
the
KITCHEN!
TURNING
LOVE
INTO
A
CHAIN!
That
holds
them
all
together
When
the
whole
world
comes
apart!
She's
a
single,
sacred
fire
Burning
fierce
inside
her
heart!
Yeah,
she's
a
single,
sacred
fire!
And
she'll
never
fall
apart!
She's
the
anchor... (
