When I was young, I prayed for lightning My mother said it would come and find me I found myself without a prayer I lost my love, no one cared When I was young, I prayed for lightning Yeah I looked, with my face up to the sky But I saw nothing there, no no nothing there Yeah I stared, while my eyes filled up with tears But there was nothing there, no no nothing I heard one sign from above I heard one sign from above Then the signal split into the self-created stars like me and you Before there was hope, there was silence I heard one sign, and it healed my heart out of sight When I was young, I felt immortal And not a day went by without a struggle I lived my days before the night I lost myself under the light When I was young, I felt immortal Yeah I looked, with my face up to the sky But I saw nothing there, no no nothing there Yeah I stared, while my eyes filled up with tears But there was nothing there, no no nothing I heard one sign from above I heard one sign from above Then the signal split into the self-created stars like me and you Before there was love, there was silence I heard one sign, and it healed my heart out of sight Then the signal split into the self-created stars like me and you Before there was love, there was silence And it healed my heart out of sight And it healed my heart out of sight Then the signal split into the self-created stars like me and you Before there was love, there was silence I heard one sign, and it healed my heart out of sight SILENCE
