Lightning Up

Lyrics

Something’s creeping up on me I can’t name what it is He waits around each corner Listening for my fall Some nights I start to wander- My footsteps feel like his I recognize the cadence Time begins to crawl

(Lightning up the night) The urge to awaken (Lightning up the night) The surge of emotion (Lightning up the night) The courage to be open (Lightning up the night) Lightning up the night

Something starts to shimmer Just beyond my reach A breath that isn’t taken Truth I left behind The shadows shift around me Lessons they could teach I feel him getting nearer- Clearing out my mind

(Lightning up the night) The urge to awaken (Lightning up the night) The surge of emotion (Lightning up the night) The courage to be open (Lightning up the night) Lightning up the night

I’ve run from every mirror Afraid of what I’d find But now the shape grows clearer- A spark that looks like mine The darkness isn’t danger It’s how a fire is born The fear that walked beside me Becomes my lightning form

(Lightning up the night) The urge to awaken (Lightning up the night) The surge of emotion (Lightning up the night) The courage to be open (Lightning up the night) Lightning up the night
