Perfect Storm - David Wilcox

Lightning cracks the darkness

And for a moment I can see

It’s just a spark to start with

But I follow where it leads

I won’t spend my whole life hiding

Where no soul could ever thrive

I can’t live with just surviving

My heart wants to feel alive

Life is change, and change looks frightening

Watch that wind I’ve been warned

But I live to feel this lightning

In this perfect storm

I see the twisting cloud that’s turning

Where the earth and the heavens meet

I feel the voltage of that yearning

For the circuit to complete

So I will feel no resistance

To the current that will strike

I’ll put my life across the distance

Where this longing turns to light

Life is change, and change looks frightening

Watch that wind I’ve been warned

But I live to feel this lightning

In this perfect storm

It washes me down to my soul

When a storm of these tears pours

It carries me into the flow

That’s what it’s here for

Life is change, and change looks frightening

Watch that wind I’ve been warned

But I live to feel this lightning

In this perfect storm
