Lightning Bolt - Andrea Begley

Morning, it’s another pure grey morning

Don’t know what the day is holding

And I get up fightin'

Hoping I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt

The Siren of an ambulance comes howling

Right through the center of town and

No one blinks an eye

And I look up to the sky for the path of a lightning bolt

Met her as the angels parted for her

But she only brought me torture

But that’s what happens

When it’s you that’s standing in the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just walks the walk with gritted teeth

But I just stand by and I wait my time

They say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine

But when I see the signs I’ll jump on that lightning bolt

And chances, people tell you not to take chances

And they tell you that there aren’t any answers

And I was starting to agree

But I awoke suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt

And fortune, people talking all about fortune

Do you make it or does it just call you

In the blinking of an eye

Just another passerby in the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just walks the walk with gritted teeth

But I just stand by and I wait my time

They say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine

But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt

In silence, I was lying back gazing skyward

When the moment got shattered

I remembered what she said

And then she fled into the path of a lightning bolt
