If I was a bolt of lightning I would shoot right down and split the sky
      A5            D5       A5        D5           A5            B5       A5
 in two and I would be so bright  i would light up the darkest night
          B5                A5          B5                    A5
Well maybe I'll come back as one, i think it would be lots of fun
          B5                A5          B5                    A5
To zap the earth and strike the sea with a billion bolts of energy

And if I was a bird out on the wing the sweetest song you'd hear me sing
      A5            D5       A5        D5           A5            B5       A5
I would whistle sounds like secret words in a language no ones ever heard
          B5                A5          B5                    A5
The tune around your ear would ring so mesmerizing you would think
         B5                A5          B5                    A5
 that I was something quite absurd, more like an angel than a bird

i'm a lightning, bird, wind, river, man.

And if I was a gust of wind i'd blow around the world three times or so
      A5            D5       A5        D5           A5            B5       A5
I would pick up half and million leaves and make a sculpture on the breeze
         B5                A5          B5                    A5
So beautiful that god himself would want to know how do as well
         B5                A5          B5                    A5
Hed'd offer me a handsome price just to be the wind in paradise

And if I was a river I would be a raging river wild and free
      A5            D5       A5        D5           A5            B5       A5
I would find my way around anything just to get where I was going
           B5                A5          B5                    A5
So treacherous would be my rath you'd never try to cross my path
          B5                A5          B5                    A5
I'd run so fast into the sea, you'd see the waves from mercury
