Lightning Rod

Laura Veirs

Compositor: Laura Veirs

Huge currents and voltages
Potential for fire, for fire yes (potential!)
You take the heat on the rooftops
You make it sweet oh please don’t stop

Protector and a messenger
Don’t throw in the towel before (protector!)
You’ve done what you’re called to do
You’ll never be done if I know you

Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds

Ben Franklin could have been killed
With key and kite up on that hill (electric!)
Devotional experiments
In spirit, you are much like him (experiments!)

A writer, a scientist
You sing your song as a servant (science!)
To gods whose voices speak through you
From somewhere in that troubled blue (devotion!)

Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
