Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I heard the thunder on a blue sky perfect day, I wonder why
Am I the only one?
I heard the thunder and I feel I'm going under, Jesus Christ
Was an only son
[Verse 2]
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
[Verse 3]
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?
[Verse 4]
I heard the thunder and I thought it was the answer, but I find
I got the question wrong
I was trying to run away but a voice told me to stay
And put the feeling in a song
[Verse 5]
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
[Verse 6]
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?
[Verse 7]
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?
