Berikut ini adalah lirik lagu The Lightning I dari Arcade Fire. Enjoy, ya!
[Verse 1]
Fourth place anthem playing tonight, on a broken radio
I thought we reached the mountaintop, but now, we just feel so low
The sky is breaking open, we keep hoping, in the distance we'll see a glow
Lightning, light our way 'til the black sky turns back to indigo
[Chorus]
We can make it if you don't quit on me
I won't quit on you
Don't quit on me
We can make it, baby
Please don't quit on me
I won't quit on you
Don't quit on me
I never quit on you
[Verse 2]
We were born in paradise, beneath a poisoned sky
Under a bad sign, the micro-age of Gemini
And we are still unlearning, tir?s are burning in the middle of Rod?o Drive
You know that we've been beat down and broken, but now we can testify
[Chorus]
We can make it if you don't quit on me
I won't quit on you
Don't quit on me
We can make it, baby
Please don't quit on me
I won't quit on you
Don't quit on me
I'll never quit on you
[Outro: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne]
It's not up to you
Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes)
You don't get to choose
Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes)
One, two, three, four
I heard the thunder on a 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
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
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?
I heard the thunder and
I thought it was the answer but I find
I got the question wrong
I was trying to run away
But a voice told me to stay and put the feeling in a song
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
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light
What will the light bring?
