Lyrics
Lightning of Passion
By Ian G. Clifton
August 14th, 2003
I was struck by lightning
It made me learn the guitar
Before I had no talent
And I wasn't going far
Then the passion struck me
And all I could do was play
Now I sing and dance and strum
Every single day
I close my eyes
Emerged in the song
Tears stroll down my face
But my voice carries on
My nose even tingles
With the emotions that I sound
It's like a locked door
And the key I just found
Now I have a purpose
Something to my life
A way to open hearts
More sure than a knife
I was struck by lightning
It made me learn the guitar
Before I had no talent
And I wasn't going far
The lightning shines in my eyes
The thunder booms as my voice
I could have been anything
I know I made the right choice
The clouds are black
The sky is gone
The rain pours down
Still I carry on
'Cause I have the passion
I have the burning desire
I'm burning so damn hot
I think I'm on fire!
Nothing can stop me
Not even if I die
My rotting corpse
Will still be singing... I
I was struck by lightning
It made me learn the guitar
Before I had no talent
And I wasn't going far
But I was struck by lightning
It made me learn the guitar
Now I have a purpose
And I can go far
'Cause I was struck by lightning
Struck by, struck by
Struck by lightning
Oh I was
Struck... by... lightning... yeah!
