Darren Hoff & the Hard Times - I've Seen Lightning Flashing Lyrics

I've been over mountains, crossed rivers of regret
Been running from trouble that I can't forget
And it's getting darker now, and it's getting darker still
I'm hounded by demons that whiskey can't kill

I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard thunder roll
Been alone and forsaken, down in a hole
But no hard times can break my soul
I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll

Everybody knows the truth sets you free
The Father of Lies has been lying to me
And he makes me shiver right down to my bones
I could walk away, but you can't hide from the storm

I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard thunder roll
Been alone and forsaken, down in a hole
But no hard times can break my soul
I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll

Some don't believe, some don't yet know
Take it or leave it, wherever you go
But there's a sea of mercy, with waves crashin' blue
Where all is forgiven, it's waiting there for you

I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard thunder roll
Been alone and forsaken, down in a hole
But no hard times can break my soul
I've seen lightning flashing, I've heard the thunder roll
