Title:
Born in the Storm
(An Electrifying OKC Thunder Anthem)
Intro
(Thunder crack, then pulsing synth beat kicks in)
“Can you feel it coming? The roar... the rush... the RISE!”
Verse 1
Midwest sky turns midnight blue,
A thousand flashes when the squad breaks through.
Sneaks squeak loud on that hardwood stage,
Every dunk writes a new history page!
Pre Chorus
Underdogs? Nah, we’re the coming wave,
Young and hungry, but we’re built brave.
The grind’s our anthem, the sweat’s our sound,
Watch this storm turn the whole league upside down!
Chorus
BORN IN THE STORM! (hear the crowd scream)
Oklahoma’s electric dream!
From the first buzzer to the final stand,
We play like lightning, you can’t stop this band!
Verse 2
Bricktown’s heartbeat in every pass,
Defense hits like shattered glass.
No names needed, just look at the fight,
That blue and orange’s gonna burn so bright!
Bridge (Half time stomp + clap rhythm)
“Where’s the thunder?” (In our hands!)
“Where’s the boom?” (In the stands!)
“Who’s the future?” (Look right here!)
The storm’s alive, the time is NOW, it’s clear!
Chorus (x2)
BORN IN THE STORM! (hear the crowd scream)
Oklahoma’s electric dream!
From the first buzzer to the final stand,
We play like lightning, you can’t stop this band!
Outro (Echoing, fading)
“We are the thunder...
We are the roar...
We... are... FOREVER!”
