From the recording Voices from God
I believe that Dan wrote this song after watching a brilliant summer lightning storm from a tent at Wilson Conservation area near Chatham, ON
Lyrics
Lightning
Like a lightning,
You are a current all your own
You are miles of lightning on your own
You are a child in a sea of rainbows (2x)
The city is where hearts and worlds collide
Where a man can live, a man can try to hide,
Where a man can lose his own reflection
Your voice is all that I need to know
Your voice is all that I need to teach me to let go
All that I need to remember myself
Standing at the intersection,
I watch the world flying on by
Light speed in every direction,
some are going low, some are going high
Standing at the intersection,
serenity surrender as I look up and
I’m ready to fly right straight into the sky
Like lightning you are a current all your own
You are miles of lightning on your own
You are a child in a sea of rainbows ...
