Lightning Strikes
looking at the sky, it; s getting dark
as far as the eyes could see
it looks like a storm brewing
and i can't hide under a tree.
i'm hearing the rolling thunder
and i'm wondering where it can be?
they say the sound of thunder can travel
twenty miles or more.
stay away from rivers
and further from the shore.
all it takes is one strike
which they say you never hear
for that is the one
your body it will tear.
we have to seek shelter
and play hide and seek
for lightning has no conscience
and cares not where it lands
it will hit you, where ever you may stand.
