[Intro] Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh [Refrain] There was a day I saw lightning There was a day I saw lightning (I saw lightning) Hey hey hey I saw lightning Ho-ho-ho I saw lightning He-he-he I saw lightning Ha-ha-ha [Verse 1] I saw wind and rain Saw mountains fall Saw temples burn And prison walls I saw floods a-comin’ Saw children run Got no more shelter No more sun [Bridge] [Chorus] Then it came to me in a flash of light By the sycamore tree in the dead of night In the bottom of the barrel on the longest day In the hardest winter in the falling rain I saw lightning saw lightning saw lightning Held my head up and it struck me down Down to the ground And it struck me down struck me down Struck me down to the ground [Refrain] There was a day saw lightning There was a day saw lightning Hey hey hey I saw lightning Ho-ho-ho I saw lightning He-he-he I saw lightning Ha-ha-ha [Verse 2] When it ain’t up wonder where it go Hold the sea as somewhere to row Over did then dead heroes Make it easy and sunny and go We hold the sea and know the unknown Old Man Dan ’cause some of them are low Wondering ’bout where do we go Until then we boat [Chorus] Then it came to me in a flash of light By the sycamore tree in the dead of night In the bottom of the barrel on the longest day In the hardest winter in the falling rain I saw lightning saw lightning saw lightning I held my head up (Yeah yeah yeah) And it struck me down (Ooh!) Down to the ground (Ooh!) And it struck me down struck me down Struck me down to the ground (Ooh!) [Bridge] [Post-Chorus] Hey hey hey I saw lightning Ho-ho-ho I saw lightning He-he-he I saw lightning Ha-ha-ha I saw lightning Saw lightning Hey saw lightning Hey saw lightning [Bridge] Lord won’t you take me and lead me to the light? (Ooh!) Lord won’t you take me and lead me to the light? (Ooh!) The Lord’s gonna take me and leave me in the light (Ooh!) The Lord’s gonna take me and leave me in the light (Ooh!) [Chorus] Then it came to me in a flash of light (Ooh!) By the sycamore tree in the dead of night (Ooh!) In the bottom of the barrel on the longest day In the hardest winter in the falling rain (Ooh!) I saw lightning saw lightning saw lightning (Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!) I held my head up (Ooh!) And it struck me down (Ooh!) Down to the ground (Ooh!) And it struck me down struck me down Struck me down to the ground (Ooh!) [Outro] I saw lightning I saw lightning I saw lightning I saw lightning

La chanson évoque des images puissantes et chargées d'émotion, où l'on ressent la force de la nature à travers des tempêtes, des inondations et des événements dramatiques. Elle parle d’une révélation soudaine qui survient dans les moments les plus sombres, près d’un arbre à sycomore, symbolisant peut-être un espoir ou une lumière divine qui guide. Les paroles mettent en avant des luttes personnelles et collectives, rappelant que même dans les temps difficiles, la lumière et la prise de conscience peuvent surgir pour offrir un nouveau sens à la vie. Le contexte souligné ici pourrait toucher à la quête de sens face aux défis de l’existence, où la foi et la résilience jouent un rôle essentiel. Les références à la lutte contre l'adversité et à l'aspiration à la lumière divine résonnent profondément et invitent à une réflexion sur la spiritualité dans les moments de crise.
