Lightning
[Intro]
[Dark choir humming. A single drum. Distant crackling sound.]
Hmmmmm…
Lightning no dey make noise first…
E just strike.
[Verse 1]
You shout “Thunda!” so the whole world fit fear.
But thunder na only the voice after the light.
You wear the crown like say nobody fit touch am.
You forget say every storm get another side.
You call me son.
You call me wild.
But na your pride build this battle.
I no come here to bow my head.
I come make the heavens witness.
[Pre-Chorus]
You bring thunder…
I bring lightning.
Before your roar reach the mountain…
My fire don already strike.
[Chorus]
My spark… LIGHTNING!
My fire… LIGHTNING!
My soul… LIGHTNING!
You call me son na…
But I no dey fear your THUNDA!
My voice… LIGHTNING!
My truth… LIGHTNING!
My heart… LIGHTNING!
Every chain go break by my LIGHTNING!
[Verse 2]
You think power dey only for the throne.
I see power inside the people.
You think fear go keep the kingdom standing.
Love go build wetin fear destroy.
You raise me strong.
Now hear me strong.
The lion cub don find him roar.
Today I stand as your equal.
No more shadow.
No more silence.
[Pre-Chorus]
Clouds dey gather.
Sky dey split.
Hear the fire dance above.
Every heartbeat count tonight.
Lightning dey come.
[Chorus]
My spark… LIGHTNING!
My fire… LIGHTNING!
My soul… LIGHTNING!
You call me son na…
But I no dey fear your THUNDA!
My voice… LIGHTNING!
My truth… LIGHTNING!
My heart… LIGHTNING!
Every chain go break by my LIGHTNING!
[Bridge]
[Choir opens. Percussion drops to heartbeat drums.]
Lead: Thunder fit roar…
Choir: Lightning fit strike!
Lead: Thunder fit shake…
Choir: Lightning fit change!
Lead: Crown fit rule…
Choir: Truth go reign!
Lead: Hear me now!
Choir: Lightning!
[Final Chorus]
Your blade… no fit stop my LIGHTNING!
Your sword… no fit break my LIGHTNING!
Your words… no fit kill my LIGHTNING!
I be your son, yes…
But I become the LIGHTNING!
[Choir rises in full harmony.]
Lightning!
Lightning!
Strike the night!
Break the chain!
Light the way!
Lightning…
Lightning!
