When you see lightning in the distance
     you know thunder
     is on the way
So don't get too upset when it gets here
     or find too much comfort
     in the driving rain
If you find yourself thinking
     that those who die
     in their sleep
have all gone the easy way
Don't forget
     what a wonderful feeling
it is to awaken
     from a nightmare
     & find you've just been dreaming

This isn't a world for comfort or being upset
     This is a world for waking up in
like this morning
      & still saying thank you
The cure for having
     your thunder stolen
     is to get some new lightning
