[Verse 1] There was a day I saaaw lightning There was a day I saaaw lightning Hey hey hey, saaaw lightning Ho ho ho, saaaw lightning He he he, saaaw lightning Ha ha ha [Pre-Chorus] Saw wind manes Some mountains fall Some temples fall Dismal Some floods coming Children run We got no more shelter, no more sun [Chorus] Then it came to me in a flash of light By the sycamore tree in the dead of night The bottom bell and the longest day The hardest wind and the fallen rain Saw lightning, saaaw lightning, saaaw lightning I held my head up And it struck me down Down to the ground It struck me down, struck me down Struck me down to the ground [Verse 2] There was a day I saw lightning There was a day I saaaw lightning Hey hey hey, saaaw lightning Ho ho ho, saaaw lightning He he he, saaaw lightning Ha ha ha [Pre-Chorus] .. Hold the sea Everywhere I go Sunny and go Down low [Chorus] Then it came to me in a flash of light By the sycamore tree in the dead of night The bottom bell and the longest day The hardest wind and the fallen rain Saw lightning, saaaw lightning, saaaw lightning I held my head up And it struck me down Down to the ground It struck me down, struck me down Struck me down on the ground [Post-Chorus] Hey hey hey, saaaw lightning Ho ho ho, saaaw lightning He he he, saaaw lightning Ha ha ha, saaaw lightning Saw lightning, saaaw lightning, saaaw lightning [Bridge] Lord, won’t you take me and lead me to the light? Lord, won’t you take me and lead me to the light? The Lord’s gonna take me and leave me in the light The Lord’s gonna take me and leave me in the light [Chorus] Then it came to me in a flash of light By the sycamore tree in the dead of night The bottom bell and the longest day The hardest wind and the fallen rain I saaaw lightning, saaaw lightning, saaaw lightning I held my head up And it struck me down Down to the ground It struck me down, struck me down Struck me down on the ground [Outro] (I saw lightning I saaaw lightning I saaaw lightning I saaaw lightning)
