Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Win Butler]
I heard the thunder on the blue sky perfect day
I wonder why, am I the only one?
I heard the thunder and I feel I'm going under
Jesus Christ was an only son

[Pre-Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne]
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings me here

[Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne]
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?

[Verse 2: Win Butler]
I heard the thunder and I thought it was the answer
