Two hearts sitting on the west side,
Two more sitting to the east.
Two lovers bound in silence
Just waiting for release.
A storm is brewing in the middle as
Two fronts crash head to head.
Two hearts drowning together
In a storm emotion fed.
I can see the lightening.
I can smell the rain.
I can hear the thunder.
I can feel the pain.
Inside the raging hurricane
Two souls, they did collide.
They bound one to another for
The duration of the ride.
Holding on to each other,
Riding out the storms above,
Two hearts thrown together,
Two hearts in search of love.
I can see the lightening.
I can smell the rain.
I can hear the thunder.
I can feel the pain.
Calm falls over the lover's as
The eye passes over head.
The silent sound is deafening
As if the world were dead.
By faith, they run to shelter
AS the hush fell all around
As one they brave the weather
With the trust that they had found.
I can see the lightening.
I can smell the rain.
I can hear the thunder.
I can feel the pain.
Fragments of shattered dreams,
False hope and selfish pride
Lay scattered all around them
With nothing left to hide.
So glean the shards and pick your pieces.
Be wise of the lessons found.
Take heed that life ain't easy
When you stand on Middle Ground.
I can see the lightening.
I can smell the rain.
I can hear the thunder.
I can feel the pain.
I can feel the pain.
God! I hate the pain.
