There was a day
Saw lightning
There was a day
I saw lightning
I said hey hey hey
I said o ho ho
I said hee hee hee
Saw wind and rain
Saw mountains fall
Saw temples burn
The prison walls
Saw floods coming
And children run
I said 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 on the longest day
In the hardest wind and in the longest rain
Saw lightning
Saw lightning
Saw lightning
I saw lightning
And I held my head up
But it struck me down
I said struck me down
And it struck me down
Struck me down
Struck me down to the ground
I 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
