Jim van den Bos
In the totality of existence I am but a lightning strike
A moment that they notice but forget about
A moment that they are scared of indoors
And warn their pets about
In the totality of existence I am but a lightning strike
A burst of energy that makes an impression
A fixed moment people talk about funnily
And then soon forget completely
In the totality of existence I am but a lightning strike
A person trying to burn bright for others
A human being, surviving dream to dream
And curiously hoping for the best
In the totality of existence I am but a lightning strike
The accurate strike. Hitting where I should
The flashes of light emphasize me
The thunder carries the story forwards
In the totality of existence I am a lightning strike
A jolt of energy breathing life into sleepers
A flicker of light in the darkness of the night
A power unmatched, uniquely mine
In the totality of existence
I am but a lightning strike
As my energy touches the ground
All can see I’ve left a mark in my shape
My strength will forever branch out
