Waiting For Lightning

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.

I remember days I was younger growing up with the thunder

Living inside of me

I ran fast like a river, fell hard like timber

Hoping that I would see everything

But I can be the one to hold on

I just need to know for how long

Ooh I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike

Ooh I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike

I want to know where to go to find

The place where the eyes and the mind meet

Where the charge in the sky meets this ground of mine

Yeah a flash of your light is all I need

Yeah, I can be the one to hold on

I just need to know for how long

Ooh, I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike

Ooh, I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike

I’m in the storm, my arms are stretched

I’m standing here, please don’t forget

I’m waiting for lightning

My heart’s a key tied to a string

Up on a kite, what will it bring?

I’m waiting for lightning to strike

Ooh, I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike

Ooh, I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike

I’m in the storm my arms are stretched

I’m standing here please don’t forget

I’ve been waiting for lightning to strike

My heart’s a key tied to a string

Up on a kite what will it bring

I’ve been waiting for lightning

I’m waiting for lightning

I’m waiting for lightning to strike
