Lightning Rod - Laura Veirs

Huge currents and voltages

Potential for fire, for fire yes (potential!)

You take the heat on the rooftops

You make it sweet oh please don’t stop

Protector and a messenger

Don’t throw in the towel before (protector!)

You’ve done what you’re called to do

You’ll never be done if I know you

Drawing fire

Fire from the clouds

Drawing fire

Fire from the clouds

Ben Franklin could have been killed

With key and kite up on that hill (electric!)

Devotional experiments

In spirit, you are much like him (experiments!)

A writer, a scientist

You sing your song as a servant (science!)

To gods whose voices speak through you

From somewhere in that troubled blue (devotion!)

Drawing fire

Fire from the clouds

Drawing fire

Fire from the clouds

Drawing fire
