There was a day I saw lightning
There was a day I saw lightning
I said hey hey hey
I said ho ho ho
I said ha ha ha
I said he he he

Saw wind and rain
Saw mountains fall
Saw temples burn
And prison walls
Saw floods comin'
And children run
I saw no more shelter
No more sun

Then it came to me in a flash of light
Sycamore tree in the dead of night
Bottom bell and the longest day
And the hardest winter and the longest rain
Saw lightning
Saw lightning
Saw lightning
Saw lightning

And I held my head up
But it struck me down
Said it struck me down
It struck me down
Struck me down
Struck me down to the ground

Said Lord won't you take me and lead me to the light?
Lord won't you take me and lead me to the light?

There was a day
I saw lightning
