Bolt From the Blue

I walked a long time on this earth with blinkers on my eyes When one day suddenly I was struck by a bolt from the sky Hey you down there what do you think of yourself? I’m going to take away your health and your wealth I had strutted like a peacock and preyed like a panther On the weak and the humble and on those who did’nt matter Down went my scrips and I went broke My heart could’nt take it and I got a stroke Strapped to the bed, my body turned to lead All I could wish for was to be dead In my anguish I cried out aloud Oh God if possible please lift up this dark cloud I am sorry it is to you I have caused utter grief Please give me another chance, I’ll turn over a new leaf God made me swallow a bitter pill indeed To put aright all my misdeeds But then He took away all my ills And within me a new spirit instilled
