Struck By Lightning

She sits in the darkness, the storm is near
Under the stair-well, quaking with fear
She waits for the thunder, to split the sky
Will Mother be long now? Tears fills her eyes

Shadows are haunting, lights on the floor
The windows have shattered, she runs for the door
Her eyes see the storm-clouds, she runs down the lane
Siezed by the panic, drenched by the rain

Sirens wailing and lights are flashing
As she runs and screams in the night

Struck by Lightning - on the run
Struck by Lightning - all alone
Struck by Lightning - away from home
