When the lightning calls the dawn
Calls a voice that says carry on
The darkness of the morning hours
illuminated by a distant power
When the lightning calls the dawn
When the lightning calls the dawn
Kept alone without a voice
Did silence bring you shame
Did you know in your prison cell
That the world had called your name
Time has its way with truth
And the pack of lies would deliver you
When the lightning called the dawn
Calls a voice that says carry on
The darkness of the morning hours
illuminated by a distant power
When the lightning called the dawn
Now Jesus said that we must forgive
Turn the cheek from the others sins
What they reaped you would not sow
Rivers of blood would not flow
Time has its way with truth
And the pack of lies would deliver you
When the lightning called the dawn
Calls a voice that says carry on
The darkness of the morning hours
illuminated by a distant power
When the lightning called the dawn
When the lightning called the dawn
When the lightning called the dawn
