Once in a while, I drift in time
To a place in my memory that it still hurts to find
I was taking on the world with a see through smile
But dying on the inside all the while
I was dying on the inside all the while

Like a martyr that don't want sympathy
I locked away my feelings and threw away the key
It was gonna take a miracle to pierce my pride
And you were the tower of strength that tried
When your loving washed right over me like the tide

[Chorus:]
And now I believe in love, I believe in love, you're the reason why I can
''cause when I look at myself in the mirror, I see a better man, a better man

Yes it's hard finding words that can say how I feel about you
I don't care if it sounds like another old cliche
But I can't stand the thought of living my life without you for even a day

(Solo)
And now I believe in love, yes I believe in love, you're the reason why I can
''cause when I look at myself in the mirror
Oh baby when I look at myself in the mirror
When I'm looking at myself in the mirror, I see a better man

Thunder

Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. Depending on the nature of the lightning and distance of the listener, thunder can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, low rumble (brontide). The sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave, similar to a sonic boom, which produces the sound of thunder, often referred to as a clap, crack, or peal of thunder. The distance of the lightning can be calculated by the listener based on the time interval from when the lightning is seen to when the sound is heard. more »
