Lightning
It was on the news just yesterday
Two more people die, it seems so far away

Lord I have a heart, but it’s tucked away
I know I should feel, but safely here I stay

The numbers they add up the people they fall
To me they are numbers they have no faces at all

Until today, until today

CHORUS
When lightning strikes too close to home
You’ll never be the same
It hit the ground just right next door
Set the whole place on fire
So hard to ignore
When lightning strikes too close to home

His name was Tim, grew up on my street
Just a regular guy, the nicest you’ll ever meet

He broke my heart, lord, a time or two
Now just memories, no more “me and you”

The whole world crumbles far away you feel the same
In your face, an uneasible pain

Just like today, just like today
(Chorus 2x)
