-=This song has some serious palm muting throughout. I suggest
you go onto the VH-1 website to listen to the strumming
pattern.=-
-= VERSE I =-
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door
lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall
-= CHORUS I =-
oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
-= VERSE II =-
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
-= CHORUS II =-
oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
I can feel it
