[Intro]
\nWonder…
\n… what causes rolling thunder?<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSuperheats the air
\n(Rapid expansion)
\nTo here from there
\n(To hear the action)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nLightning a mile long
\n(Thunder gods’ song)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSay hello to echo (echo)
\nThen say hey to delay (delay)
\nTo hear her rumbling
\nIs quite humbling<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nAtmospheric layering
\n(Reaction to refraction)
\nSeriously sound bending
\n(And mind melding)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nLightning a mile long
\n(Thunder gods’ song)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSay hello to echo (echo)
\nThen say hey to delay (delay)
\nTo hear her rumbling
\nIs quite humbling<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nLightning a mile long
\n(Thunder gods’ song)<\/p>\n
