Yes - Lightning Strikes Lyrics

2019 and I just found this. WTF have I been???

I’ve done the transcription of the arrangement for this song!
Please watch it: https://youtu.be/hp2Z_-6Zsy8

This is one hell of a happy song ^^

56 days to go and this is my morning song to inspire me to get ready for my next adventure . . . Biking Birder 2018 - Peru! A Yes song for every day leading up to the start on April first. Two months cycling from Lima to The Manu and then four months kayaking along the Madre de Dios river. 62 years old and loving/living life and every day a million, billion, trillion thanks to Yes for a life time of loving their music.
My latest Biking Birder adventure is from April to October 2018.

This year I am cycling and kayaking for the six months in Peru.

This is my fourth Biking Birder adventure, which is all about raising money for Birdlife International . . .

and for Chaskwasi-Manu, a project that helps indigenous children from The Manu National Park access a school.

The childrens' desire for education is so that they can help protect their rainforest home and be ambassadors for their communities.

Lyrics:
Not a lot is missing
Every ounce of treasure found
And I believe that everyone should get what
They're allowed
Suspected of belief that comes suspended
In a sound
And everybody wants some

It's the sound they make in heaven
It's a sound for here on earth
I've heard it in the whispering
Of the wonders that we search
We've waited far too long
To hear the healing of the stars
'N' everybody wants some

Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
To feel alive

Oh - does it get much better than this
Oh - does it get much better, much better
Oh - does it get much better than this, than this

There's the sound that keeps you trying
There's the sound that makes you smile
There's a sound in every corner
Of the world that we survive

Your temple is the harmony
You feel the sacred ground
Just wishing for the secret
To appear within the sound
Watching for the morning star
The rhythm of the sun
I hear it in my waking dreams
The singing has begun

The passion that we walk upon
The passion that we bring
Is written for the mountains
They love to hear us sing

Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
To feel alive

Oh - doesn't get much better than this
Oh - doesn't get much better than this, than this

Who made me make believe
I'm alive I'm living
Never underestimate
The signals coming to you
Oh
The sounding of the earth
It shakes you, yes it shakes you
Oh
The sounding of the earth
It shakes you, let it shake you

Hep yadda

Am I the only 13 year old fan? Cause thanks dad for showing me good music XD

CLOSE TO THE EDGE 5 LIFE

nope :D
Sorry for my english, I'm from Chile

make sure he gets you all the way back to the first album and then through TALK..the newer stuff is good but more commercial, bubbly and elevator.... and I am the hugest YES FAN..

struck me!!!!!!

ΥΠΕΡΟΧΗ ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΣΗ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wouuaaaaa c'est magnifique !

Thanks for doing all this for me.

Came to revisit this song in the wake of Chris's passing because it's the single most JOYOUS song they've ever done, IMHO. You did a great job with the many beautiful lightning photos, and I love the way it morphed into the cat shots during the song's final passage. Very nicely done...and I think the guys in Yes would like this, too. Peace...

And God rest your soul, Chris. You will never be forgotten.

Great album.

one of the greatest progressive bands of all time.

+Paul Lizzi U love Yes and Evangelion, im not feeling alone in this world anymore :P

Ta <3 peace ;)

One of the most unknown and underrated songs of all time

Agree. I'm a fan of Yes in the seventies, lost their track in the eighties and I've discover this fantastic song. Shame on me.

Thanks fur enjoying...it kinda works like the song goes, when the creativity, joy, love etc etc is flowing, electrically, magnetically charged, inspired...whatever you are looking fur comes to you! Kinda funny, kinda weird...but it works, somehow/someway...dunno...I enjoy it anyhoo...Peace <3

Cool pictures. Some are funny, some make you go "wow", others are just plain beautiful. Where do you get all these photos?

VN, vn...

I've been wondering how that happened for years! Thanks for the insight..

Woooahhhh that same flute bit is in the beginning of Phenomenal Cat by The Kinks.

...Apparently it was one of several preset samples that came with certain mellotrons back in the 60s :O
