The Lightning I, II

Album: We (2022)

  • Fourth place anthem playing tonight
    On a broken radio
    Thought WE reached the mountaintop, but now
    WE just feel so low
    The sky is breaking open
    WE keep hoping in the distance
    WE'll see a glow
    Lightning light our way
    Till the black sky turns back to indigo

    WE can make it if you don't quit on me
    I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
    WE can make it, baby, please don't quit on me
    I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
    I'll never quit on you

    WE were born in paradise beneath a poisoned sky
    Under a bad sign, the micro-age of gemini
    And WE are still unlearning
    Tires are burning in the middle of Rodeo Drive
    You know that WE've been beat down and broken
    But now WE can testify

    WE can make it if you don't quit on me
    I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
    WE can make it, baby, please don't quit on me
    I won't quit on you, don't quit on me
    I'll never quit on you

    It's not up to YOU some you win, some you lose
    (When the lightning comes)
    YOU don't get to choose, some you win, some you lose
    (When the lightning comes)

    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

    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

    Waiting on the lightning
    Waiting on the lightning
    Waiting on the light
    What will the light bring?

    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

    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

    Waiting on the lightning
    Waiting on the lightning
    Waiting on the light
    What will the light bring?

    Waiting on the lightning
    Waiting on the lightning
    Waiting on the light
    What will the light bring? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
