Pat Barrett, Harolddd – Lightning (Official Video)
Pat Barrett and Harolddd released the official video for “Lightning.” The song was written a few weeks ago in response to the death of George Floyd.
“Lightning”: A lament and a prayer. Written in pain and laden with hope. HB and I started writing this on May 27th after the murder of George Floyd.
Pain…old old pain, anger, peaceful protests, riots, racism, white supremacy, Jesus, mercy, Justice, disbelief, fear, sorrow, criticism, hate, need, and so much more…what can be done? For us, this has been a song for “now.”

LYRICS:
Thinking of a day
I won’t see a face on another t-shirt
I know it’s bad, but it hurts
Same day, new face
Old pain, rerun
Headline, heartbreak
Pray to God that peace will find me
Peace find me
Pray to God that he falls like lightning
Pray to God that he falls like lightning
Silence from the ones who know better
Quiet is the riot of the oppressor
Devil’s plan is we hate each other
Even better if we say nothing
One day all things will be the way it should be
One day all things will be the way it should be
