[English]

Lost in a sea of doubt

It's either breathe or drown

I really need you now

Oh, I know that you'll be my lightning in the dark

Ups, down, I've seen a million now (now)

But I ain't scared of clouds (clouds)

Oh, 'cause I know you'll be my lightning in the dark

Oh, oh, oh

You'll be my lightning in the dark

I believe in human nature

And the need for love

I believe that our mistakes are

Are what makes us us

In the eye of a hurricane

How did I ever change?

And I still believe in purpose

And a bigger plan

And I know what's on the surface

Don't define a man

In the eye of a hurricane

You were my saving grace

Healing is the destination

I'm still on my way

Keep the faith, no hesitation

Even when I'm lost

Lost in a sea of doubt

It's either breathe or drown

I really need you now

Oh, I know that you'll be my lightning in the dark

Ups, down, I've seen a million now (now, now)

But I ain't scared of clouds

Oh, 'cause I know you'll be my lightning in the dark

Lightning in the dark, lightning in the dark

Lightning in the dark, lightning in the dark

Lightning in the dark, lightning in the dark

You'll be my lightning in the dark
