Have you ever seen a light
Streaking through the sky
Imagined it was someone’s life
That just came streaming by
And when the light had faded
Did it make you question why
We were put here on this earth
And then, left here to die
Did you ever see a lightning strike
Felt the tremors from its thunder
Imagined it had pierced a heart
And ripped it all asunder
For such a force to manifest
Did it set your mind to wonder
Was our life, meant to be
Or was it, just a blunder
Did you ever see a rainbow
See its beauty arching high
Imagined life, was still worth living
Without, the reason why
