Standing on the edge of the truth
Looking out at the view
Of all you used to believe
From where you are
You can see you’re far away from home
Echoes of the life you once knew
Call out to you from across the divide
And you know it’s time
To step back over the line
But you’re waiting for lightning
A sign that it’s time for a change
You’re listening for thunder
While He quietly whispers your name
(Whispers your name)
Night falls and the curtain goes down
No one’s around, it’s just you and the truth
As you lie and wait
For a feeling to take you by storm
Somewhere in the depths of your heart
(Somewhere in your heart)
Where it’s empty and dark
There’s a flicker of light
And the Spirit calls
But do you know notice at all?
Are you waiting for lightning
A sign that it’s time for a change
And you’re listening for thunder
While He quietly whispers your name
But the sign and the word
Have already been given
And now it’s by faith
That we must look, and we must listen
Instead of waiting for lightning
A sign that it’s time for a change
Listening for thunder
Are you listening
As He quietly whispers your name
(Whispers your name)
Ooh, don’t wait
(Waiting for lightning)
Don’t wait
