Lyrics
Lightning Rod
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Huge currents and voltages
Potential for fire, for fire yes (potential!)
You take the heat on the rooftops
You make it sweet oh please don’t stop
Protector and a messenger
Don’t throw in the towel before (protector!)
You’ve done what you’re called to do
You’ll never be done if I know you
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Ben Franklin could have been killed
With key and kite up on that hill (electric!)
Devotional experiments
In spirit, you are much like him (experiments!)
A writer, a scientist
You sing your song as a servant (science!)
To gods whose voices speak through you
From somewhere in that troubled blue (devotion!)
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
