“Crying Thunder (Give Peace A Pie)” is a soulful R&B ballad born from a fierce July 14th downpour that left me soaked, still, and deeply reflective. As thunder roared and lightning split the sky, echoes of prose I wrote decades ago—meditations on war and its toll—came flooding back. From that storm, this song emerged: a heartfelt cry for peace, laced with rhythm, memory, and a hint of sweetness. 🌧️🥧✨

 Crying Thunder (Give Peace A Pie) by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2025

 

[Verse 1]
Ever wonder if thunder,

Is the world breakin’ under

Cracklin’ loud — tearin’ apart,

That sound feels like a broken heart

Shockwaves soaring high above,

Roarin' louder than our love

Lightning’s fire, hot as sin,

Burns the sky from deep within.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All this rage in the sky,
Feels like truth tryin’ to cry.
What if thunder’s not just sound,
But the pain we pass around
They just roar and crack the sky
Remindin’ us to ask why

[Chorus]
Shockwaves rollin’ through… the night…
Like the world forgot what’s right.
Is this storm a sacred… sign..
To stop the wars, redraw the lines
Crying thunder — is the sky falling
Wonder why peace is worth the try

[Verse 2]
Drenched in rain, can’t feel my feet,
Heart poundin’ with every beat.
It was a moody Monday, skies went dark,
Thunder crashed and stole my spark.
Lightning so bright, it blinds the night,
Flicks an electric strike of light.
In the thunder, I see me and try —
Worn down, tryin’ — stayin’ dry…

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We rage, we run, we justify,
But storms don’t care who’s wrong or why.
What if thunder’s not just sound,
But the pain we pass around…
They just roar and crack the sky…
Remindin’ us to ask why...

[Chorus]
Shockwaves rollin’ through… the night…
Like the world forgot what’s right.
Is this storm a sacred sign…
To stop the wars, redraw the lines..
Crying thunder — is the sky falling
Wonder why… peace is worth the try.

Forget fightin’, give peace a pie..
A little sweet for the stormy sky..

[Bridge]
We shout and fall, then build new walls
Forget we’re human, flaws and all.
Storms don’t lie — they testify
They break us down, they ask us why
Crying thunder — is the sky falling
Wonder why peace is worth the try

Forget fightin’, give peace a pie..
A little sweet… for the stormy sky..

[Final Chorus]
Shockwaves rollin’ through… the night…
Like the world forgot what’s right.
Maybe thunder’s more than sound…
It’s the call to lay our burdens down...
Crying thunder — is the sky falling…
Wonder why peace is worth the try

Forget fightin’, give peace a pie
A little sweet for the stormy sky…

[Outro]
Crying thunder — is the sky falling?
Wonder why peace is worth the try…

[fade out]

Forget fightin’, give peace a pie,
A little sweet for the stormy sky…


[End of Song]
