Like Lightning

It's about that time when
I got to throw lightning
I could've been something
Without you now
It's about that time
Got to do something, got to be like lightning
Be somebody new now
I know my way back, I've seen that sky collapse
I've heard that thunder clap
I've seen that lightning crack
I know my way home
I'll mend those broken bones
I've seen that
Lightning crack
Don't just think about yourself
Go get some help
They're coming for you
They're coming for you
It's about that time when
I got to throw lightning
I could've been something
Without you
It's about that time when
I got to do something, got to be like lightning
Be somebody new now
Under a setting Sun
I will not be undone
My day has just begun
Come here break me off some
Don't just think about yourself
You should get some help
They're coming for you
They're coming for you
