Lightning crashes

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

Oh now feel it coming back again

Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind

Forces pulling from the center of the earth again

I can feel it

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

 

This is a song by the band Live.The band dedicated the song to Barbara Lewis, a 20 year old friend of the band who had been killed by a drunk driver who was fleeing from the police after a robbery. Barbara had many of her organs donated, and the song lyrics reflect how her death enabled others to continue living. The circle of life.
