Lightning Song Lyrics

Lightning splits the sky
Shining blinding white
And here I lie almost asleep
Reckoning in a place of peace

And I feel I found my place in time and space
In hope and faith and love I give
My mind is clear, I have no fear
I shed no tears for you, my dear
This world is wonderful, so beautiful,
if only you can open up your mind and see
Your world is everything you ever dreamed of,
if only you can open up your mind and see
You will see - see - see

This world is wonderful, so beautiful,
if only you can open up your mind and see
Your world is everything you ever dreamed of,
if only you can open up your mind and see
The beauty that is here
The beauty that is here

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Following my line in untouchable part 1. This is the revealing of the meditation of the main character in the past song...( the gathering of the clouds). In this one he realize that the world and life is really a beautiful place... and all the things are going to be all right.. still he thinks about the love one... but the main character knows that even if he or she dies his or her love one will be fine because the world has a lot to give...

then go to the nest song...
