"Shhhhhh" They all seem to say as the night goes on "Shhhhh" I can hear them pray their mumbling is getting in the way "Shhhhh" I say "you'll miss it" "Be quiet" Listen to the pin needles hit the tin roof Listen to the wind gusts fight against each other It's proof They want to be heard, Listen to the flashing that wants to be heard It screams with its light No one seems to be listening There talking There praying There not listening "Shhhh" Close your eyes and listen to the train that goes by in the distance, it's far away horn Listen to the loud thunder rumbling through the dark skies Listen to the crackling sound it makes when you pay attention "Shhh" Listen Can you hear me You can only see my cry for help but your not Listening Hear me I'm screaming I'm loud and I need you to Listen I'm here I am the Lightning that cries at night I am that bright flashing streak at night I light up the sky with my cries and you won't listen your not listening HEAR ME
