This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
We follow the ever-falling rain
Electrons protons fight again
So, we run
We follow the ever-rising sun
With feelings of all becoming one
Then, we fly
We fly in our dreams ever so bold
Swimming the seas covered with gold
Behold, proceed
Proceed with the blessing of all the gods
Amidst the time of men at odds
See, believe
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Grapevines of thoughts lighting the skies
Overwhelmingly of demise
So, we sing
We sing to the spirit world so close
Providing our vital life force
Then, we breathe
We breathe with the breath of I-Ching
With the spirit that moves through all things
Now, we see
Seeing of all that is alive
Will be the way to survive
Life, released
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
So bright
Electrons protons fight again
So, we run
We follow the ever-rising sun
With feelings of all becoming one
Then, we fly
We fly in our dreams ever so bold
Swimming the seas covered with gold
Behold, proceed
Proceed with the blessing of all the gods
Amidst the time of men at odds
See, believe
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Grapevines of thoughts lighting the skies
Overwhelmingly of demise
So, we sing
We sing to the spirit world so close
Providing our vital life force
Then, we breathe
We breathe with the breath of I-Ching
With the spirit that moves through all things
Now, we see
Seeing of all that is alive
Will be the way to survive
Life, released
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
So bright

The I-Ching is also known as the Book of Changes. We breathe with breath of change with the spirit that movies through all things (Brahman/Anima mundi). It's about being the change we wish to see in the world because the world will inevitably change, for better or worse, so make it for better.
"The storm shines bright" invokes the immanent (Divine) winds of change.
