Chasing Lightning

I wake up in the morning

With fire in my veins

The world is at my fingers

I can hear it, calling my name

I am relentless once my eyes are on the prize

You won’t catch up to me, don’t try ‘cause I’m

Like chasing lightning

There’s no slowing me down

I keep on fighting

You can’t stop me now

I won’t wait, I’ll make my moment

Closed doors are breaking open

You can’t douse this flame I’m holding

I’m like chasing lightning

You think you’re reaching higher

But the sky’s not high enough

For someone with my desire

Let me show you just how it’s done

I’m running towards the future where it’s looking bright

When it’s in my reach, no you can’t dim this light

I’m like chasing lightning

There’s no slowing me down

I keep on fighting

You can’t stop me now

I don’t wait, I make my moment

Closed doors are breaking open

You can’t douse this flame I’m holding

I’m like chasing lightning

About the Song

“Chasing Lightning” is about choosing to listen to your gut over waiting for permission. It was written for moments when standing still feels riskier than moving forward — when instinct, grit, and determination matter more than certainty.

The song highlights that charged space between fear and faith, where you jump first and trust the net will appear.

“I don’t wait, I make my moment…”
