Lightning by Rob Lutes

Lightning

See the lightning strike across the house
And all the fallow fields
Of hearts that never yield the right of way

See the lightning strike across my eyes
Awake to what they see
A flash, a family
Lost upon the sea in a storm

Now we hear the crickets call
And hold the silence still
While the distance brings a chill to our bones, to our bones

See the lightning strike and then the fire
We stand and watch it burn
It's the only way we learn these days


See the lightning strike across the fence
That we didn't mean to build
But it slowly rose until it stood in the way

And we feel so lonely
Could we be the only
Human souls with a love so afraid, so afraid

SOLO

Oh we long to travel back to
The crooked paths we hardly knew
At the time when we were walking through in love, in love...


See the lightning strike and take your breath
And everything is clear
The thunder brings you fear but you stay


See the lightning strike and you're a child
And you're running just to see
The world alive and free


See the lightning strike across the house
