A Flash of Lightning: The Wake-Up Call

Verse 1:
We said yes to lunch that day
A decision that changed our fate
A call came in, a shock to our souls
Lightning struck, our hearts in a hole

Chorus:
A flash of lightning, a strike so bold
Could've taken our lives, a story to be told
We were spared, a miracle to share
Grateful for life, with love to spare

Verse 2:
The room we rest, where we lay our heads
A direct hit, our beds, our sanctuary, our haven, our dread
But we were out, a blessing in disguise
A near miss, a wake-up call, a surprise

Chorus:
A flash of lightning, a strike so bold
Could've taken our lives, a story to be told
We were spared, a miracle to share
Grateful for life, with love to spare

Bridge:
We'll never forget that fateful day
A lesson learned, in a most powerful way
Appreciate life, every single day
No guarantees, but love will find a way

Chorus:
A flash of lightning, a strike so bold
Could've taken our lives, a story to be told
We were spared, a miracle to share
Grateful for life, with love to spare

Outro:
Now we cherish every moment we share
A newfound appreciation, a rare love
A flash of lightning, a wake-up call
Grateful for life, standing tall
