Ball Lightning Lyrics

i'm a weak young thing
but it's this song i sing
that puts the strength back in my bones
puts the feathers on your wings
and it sleeps in your soul
in your heart of gold
it pulls the hymnals out of nowhere
crushes diamonds out of coal

when all i've known
is said or sung
no stone unturned
no rag unwrung
my banner flown
my youth returned
with our lungs void
our voice was heard
and when you left home
did your friends all go
"we were never really here
we were never carved in stone"

so open your window
let your fever grow
for the grace of god go i
and i am never going home
when hands can't hold
the light i see
the first bird sang
this song to me
"with my strength spent
with my heart cold
i put my faith
in rock and roll"

...ball lightning
ball lightning
ball lightning
ball lightning
