Ride Above the Lightning

Tripped over the sunrise, milky gray and sad
Thought back on the night and day and night I had
Counted down the reasons I should have stayed in bed
And wondered why…I wondered why

First night, couldn’t silence the thunder in my mind
Next day ran through rain seeking cover blind
Now I’m sitting, climbing, crawling through the sky
But it’s all right….it’s all right

The daily pace is graceless until I’m lifted high
Then I ride above the lightning in the sky

Soaring into nothing, I’m over easy cures
It’s not enough to know my soul can just endure
I want to chase the daybreak, overtake the earth
And fly…just fly

It’s like digging for diamonds in mountain wild with coal
Some days feeling sharp, some days just feeling old
Though I may lie down each night inside my dreams of sweet pretend
I’m still praying thanks when the next day begins

City lights peek like prisms, a glittering invite
Storm cloud falls behind, I’ve ridden out the night
One more stroke, a straight line, recharge my oversight
With a ride above the lightning in the sky

Oh, I know this pace is graceless till I remember why
I can ride above the lightning in the sky
