Every time you hear the thunder. When I was a boy, I didn't know what was real. Living day to day, just doing what I feel. I thought I was a hero, like I was made of steel. It was but a blunder. That's before I heard the thunder. Some people pray when their worries become great. They get on their knees and hope it's not too late. If only they'd remember that song Some words could change their fate and the burden that they're under. Shattered by the thunder. One day, if you're shaken, you'll begin to see. When you're reminded that you're delicate and weak, the voice of one who has the fear will start to speak. Did you ever wonder what's the purpose of thunder?
