The Lightning Conductor

In the park where nature reigns
A ranger walked through sun and rain
Little did he know that day
The sky would choose him for a game

First a tower, then his truck
His eyebrows burnt, but still in luck
In his yard and on patrol
The bolts kept coming, took his toll

Seven times lightning struck
Seven times he pushed his luck
The human rod is how he’s called
The legend speaks, his story’s told
He’s the lightning conductor

His hair on fire, his body scarred
But he stood tall, won’t fall apart
Driving nearby the stream
The lightning got him, very mean

Thunder’s trying to take him down
But he’s just smiling as they come around
A thousand volts couldn’t claim his soul
Marching on he kept in control

Seven times he felt the shock
Yet he stood steady as a rock
Constant threat a restless fear
Counting scars year by year

Open plains a deadly game
Survivor of electric pain
Seven times the sky chose him
Will he break, will he give in?
