Eight o´clock and it´s way past time,
feelin´good I´m gonna make it tonight.
It´s so good when you feel this right
out here underneath the spotlight.
I´m not lonely, not lonely, not lonely,
´cos I´m doing it right.
You see I put my heart in his hand, I´m a son of thunder,
underneath the spotlight.
So many fall at the break of day,
but I´m a winner come what may.
´Cos it matters ´bout the way you choose.
Choose him and you just can´t lose.
It´s not lonely, not lonely, not lonely,
when you´re doin´ it right.
Why don´t you put your heart in his hand, be a son of thunder,
underneath the spotlight.
Put yourself in my place it would be a disgrace,
left with egg all over your face.
Would you come back so soon if I sang out of tune?
I could be howlin´ at the moon.
You can see me tonight standing under the light,
and I´ll be singing a song that´s true.
Maybe someday you´ll find that you´re no longer blind,
and the light will sing for you.
Twelve o´clock and I´m on my way.
Another town, it´s another day,
got a message that you just can´t buy.
I´ve got to tell it and that is why,
I´m not lonely, not lonely, not lonely,
´cos I´m doing it right.
You see I put my heart in his hand, I´m a son of thunder
underneath the spotlight.
