Hard to tell
Or recognize a sign
To see me through
A warning sign
First the thunder
Satisfied, if the past it will not lie (then the storm, torn asunder )
The future you and I get blown away (in the storm)
In a lifetime, in a lifetime
And as the rain it falls
We begin again (heavy in my heart)
As the storm breaks through (believe the light in you)
So the light shines in you
Without color, faded and worn
Torn asunder in the storm
Unless the sound can save your body and soul
Unless it disappears
Selfish storm (first the thunder)(then the storm)
Torn aside (one life)
In the storm
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
Or recognize a sign
To see me through
A warning sign
First the thunder
Satisfied, if the past it will not lie (then the storm, torn asunder )
The future you and I get blown away (in the storm)
In a lifetime, in a lifetime
And as the rain it falls
We begin again (heavy in my heart)
As the storm breaks through (believe the light in you)
So the light shines in you
Without color, faded and worn
Torn asunder in the storm
Unless the sound can save your body and soul
Unless it disappears
Selfish storm (first the thunder)(then the storm)
Torn aside (one life)
In the storm
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime

I once read, I forget where, that this song was an impulsive one, inspired by a storm that was raging one night on their way to the recording studio. As a simple celebration of the wild elements of nature it's wonderful to begin with. Yet it can also adapt to various meanings one may want to give it, since it's so full of emotion and energy.
As an aside, the few quiet bars of music at the very start of this song always remind me of the background music in the movie Labyrinth, which kind of sets the mood for me, and only makes me love it more.
