I Bring the Lightning a Song
[pre-chorus]
That flash that stuns your eyes
makes you hold your breath
shiver to your toes
ruins your rest
[chorus]
Thats me, I bring the lightning,
I can start the fire
burning brightly
things can go on for hours
[verse 1]
I learned a long time ago
how to set match
to the tinder
and make things all aglow
dancing crackling cinder
It takes intention and focus
and knowing where to touch
and breathing on the embers' glow
to bring it all alive
[instrumental interlude]
[verse 2]
Flame bursts out
it jumps so high
crackling popping with the sap
once it starts to really burn
there is no going back
So don't play with this match
I am not to be trifled with
I can bring the lightning
the flame
and then your life will never again
be the same
[pre-chorus]
That flash that stuns your eyes
makes you hold your breath
shiver to your toes
ruins your rest
[chorus]
Thats me, I bring the lightning,
I can start the fire
burning brightly
things can go on for hours
[outro]
That flame leaves nothing untouched
the ground, the structures, the plants
its all gone up in smoke
if you give it half a chance
so don't play with fire
don't call in the lightning
the snap and bright will bring a fright
and the burn be quite enlightening
Those that have seen the flame
are never the same again
I bring the fire
I bring the lightning
and I seldom strike twice for anyone
[music fades]
[end]
