about

During the original collective composition of this song during rehearsal, a massive lightning storm passed through. During the next three rehearsals, lightning storms passed, as if called down by our "Lightning Song."

lyrics

Driving up to the lake trying to stay between the lines,
Small towns, long days, and forty-foot signs, my mind is drunk with pride.
On the road with Kerouac, his book rides shotgun seat,
On the road, away from home, I'm finally on my way now.

Clouds boil black, what power they hold?
As lightning strikes, the story unfolds.
This battle you fight, it attacks your mind,
And though the stage is bleak, you cannot resign.

I enter town, the stoplights flash, graffiti paints the wall,
There stands a man who holds a sign, his eyes hollow as his soul.
He looks me up and he looks me down, and then he says to me:
Don't loose your way, it happens fast, I can't find MY way now.

Chorus

There's caution tape and warning signs, the lone light flickers off.
But straight I sail though my jib is torn, I believe what I was taught:
Ten thousand hours and my seeds shall flower after many battles fought,
I'm on the road, away from home, I'm finally on my way now.

Chorus
