[Vs1]

Dark clouds have been rising,

Rising high above;

Our worlds are colliding -

Colliding into love;

The thunder brings a shiver,

A shiver brings a thrill;

Now the earth is shaking,

Shaking like we will…

CHORUS

It’s only lightning -

More than just a flash;

It’s only lightning -

More than we could ask;

It’s only lightning -

Brings us to our knees;

It’s only lightning -

Strikes us with such ease.

[Vs2]

Endless rain is falling,

Falling like lost years;

All the years of fighting,

Fighting back the fears;

Now our eyes are strangled,

Strangled in a grip;

A grip that holds forever,

We’re forever’s workmanship…

CHORUS

It’s only lightning -

More than just a flash;

It’s only lightning -

More than we could ask;

It’s only lightning -

Brings us to our knees;

It’s only lightning -

Strikes us with such ease.

[BRIDGE]

Bending blades of fire,

We hold on to a flame,

A flame that comes together,

As we flow into one vein;

Nothing separates us,

This time the melting’s done,

We’ve been lit by our love,

And there’s more lightning to come…

CHORUS

It’s only lightning -

More than just a flash;

It’s only lightning -

More than we could ask;

It’s only lightning -

Brings us to our knees;

It’s only lightning -

Strikes us with such ease.

"Behind The Scenes" - Christian Genre Edit (Long Version) (Draft)

“Behind The Scenes” (Long Version) (Draft)
Copyright by Frank DeCenso, Jr.

Your old mascara’s trying
To hold on while you’re crying –
You can’t believe he left like you old shoes;
There’s no one there that you trust
To show they care like He does –
I only wish you never had to choose.

CHORUS
He’s always been, behind the scenes,
Watching as you play a sultry part;
But now and then, behind the scenes,
You’ve felt Him touch your broken, withered heart.
He’s still there, behind the scenes…
Waiting till you see how much He cares;
Cause when you do, you’ll know He’s true,
And you will find that He’ll always be there.

You’re walking in the moonlight
And hoping that your pain might,
Find its way into somebody’s heart;
You know it’s been a while
Since you had to fake a smile –
With you pretending has become an art.

CHORUS
He’s always been, behind the scenes,
Watching as you play a sultry part;
But now and then, behind the scenes,
You’ve felt Him touch your broken, withered heart.
He’s still there, behind the scenes…
Waiting till you see how much He cares;
Cause when you do, you’ll know He’s true,
And you will find that He’ll always be there.

You’re put out and abandoned,
And end up where you had been –
In the street and hoping for attention;
So now I must inform you,
That He’s always adored you,
And the love He has is not some false invention.

CHORUS
He’s always been, behind the scenes,
Watching as you play a sultry part;
But now and then, behind the scenes,
You’ve felt Him touch your broken, withered heart.
He’s still there, behind the scenes…
Waiting till you see how much He cares;
Cause when you do, you’ll know He’s true,
And you will find that He’ll always be there.
