Lightning Bolt
Awakening Through the Lightning: Lois Mahalia's Powerful Journey
Lyrics
Lightning bolt
A sudden, powerful event or realization
In the middle of the night
During the nighttime
Lightning bolt
Another occurrence of a sudden, powerful event or realization
Man alive
An expression of surprise or excitement about being alive
Lightning bolt
Similar to line 1, emphasizing a powerful moment
In the middle of the night
Repetition for emphasis on the timing of the event
Lightning bolt
Reiteration of a sudden, impactful event or realization
I'm alive
A statement of being alive after the event
I've done things I know are wrong
Admission of past wrongdoings
Last night it struck me Lord so strong
Recalling a recent powerful realization or moment
I've gotta leave this road I'm traveling on
Desire to change direction and leave current path
Find a new band sing a new song
Wanting to explore new opportunities, create new music
Lightning bolt
Reiteration of a sudden, powerful event or realization
In the middle of the night
Emphasizing the timing of the event during the night
Lightning bolt
Similar to line 1, expressing surprise or excitement about being alive
Man alive
Reiteration of surprise or excitement about being alive
Lightning bolt
Repetition for emphasis on the timing of the event
In the middle of the night
Highlighting the occurrence of the event during the night
Lightning bolt
Reiteration of being alive after the event
I'm alive
Confirmation of being alive after the event
I tell you nothing's going to keep me from my destiny
Determination to pursue one's fate or future
'Cause my heart is flying free
Feeling liberated or unrestricted
And darling it turns out to be
Realization of the current situation
Here and now
Emphasis on the present moment
Everything is going to work out
Optimism about future outcomes
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
Expressing a desire to take action
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
Repetition of the desire to take action
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
Continued expression of the desire to take action
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
Reiteration of the desire to take action
I see the other side of the river
Seeing the other side of a challenge or obstacle
And I know the crossing is hard
Acknowledgment of the difficulty in overcoming obstacles
You can tie me down with every arrow in your...
Interrupted line, but possibly referring to facing opposition or challenges
Everything is going to work out
Optimism about future outcomes, repeated for emphasis
Everything is going to work out
Reiteration of optimism about future outcomes
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
Repetition of the desire to take action
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
Continued expression of the desire to take action
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
-I'm alive
Confirmation of being alive
I wanna do do do-do-do-do do ya
Reiteration of the desire to take action
I'm alive
Confirmation of being alive
