So stand in line
And state your name
The first one's sacred

The rest profane

Speak and make lightning

And then confess
Her children rise up
And call her blessed


Shards of old
Scattered 'cross the clearing

The fears she had
Were well worth fearing


I'm pacing and worrying all night and day
Neither you nor your mama do a single thing I say


Speak and make lightning
And it will pass
Speak and make lightning

And I will stand fast

On an icy road north of Edmonton

Speak and make lightning friend and it will come

I'm gonna kiss your cheek

I'm Gonna hold ya tight
But you took your pills
And you're out tonight


Speak and make lightning
Forget the rest

And enter the fields of the fatherless

I lost almost everything

So I'm almost free
I's trying to tell ya
You wouldn't listen to me


I'm driving up the hill to a place others call my home
Ugh, it's just where I go


Speak and make lightning
And it will pass

Speak and make lightning
And I stand fast


Tell me how bad you really want it son
Speak and make lightning
And it will come!


That's right
If you can't stand me

You'll hate my replacement
All my heroes are late with their payments


Speak and make lightning
Remember my face
And spoil not my resting place


Line to the horizon
First man to last

A warm autumn day
I lay in the grass


The house is quiet
A silent wind
Love covers all sins


Speak and make lightning
And it will pass

Speak and make lightning
And I will stand fast


In the attic
There's an old gattlin' gun
Speak and make lightning friend
And it will come


Wooo!
