Lightning Rod by Laura Veirs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Huge currents and voltages
Potential for fire, for fire yes (potential!)
You take the heat on the rooftops
You make it sweet oh please don’t stop

[Verse 2]
Protector and a messenger
Don’t throw in the towel before (protector!)
You’ve done what you’re called to do
You’ll never be done if I know you

[Chorus]
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds

[Verse 3]
Ben Franklin could have been killed
With key and kite up on that hill (electric!)
Devotional experiments
In spirit, you are much like him (experiments!)
[Verse 4]
A writer, a scientist
You sing your song as a servant (science!)
To gods whose voices speak through you
From somewhere in that troubled blue (devotion!)

[Chorus]
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
Fire from the clouds
Drawing fire
