I've Seen Lightning Flashing

I've been over mountains, crossed rivers of regret Been running from trouble that I can't forget And it's getting darker now, and it's getting darker still I'm hounded by demons that whiskey can't kill I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard thunder roll Been alone and forsaken, down in a hole But no hard times can break my soul I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll Everybody knows the truth sets you free The Father of Lies has been lying to me And he makes me shiver right down to my bones I could walk away, but you can't hide from the storm I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard thunder roll Been alone and forsaken, down in a hole But no hard times can break my soul I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll Some don't believe, some don't yet know Take it or leave it, wherever you go But there's a sea of mercy, with waves crashin' blue Where all is forgiven, it's waiting there for you I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard thunder roll Been alone and forsaken, down in a hole But no hard times can break my soul I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll
