Eight o'clock and it's way past time,
Feeling 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 'cause 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,
'Cause 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 doing 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 howling 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.
The light will sing.
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 'cause I'm doing it right.
You see, I put my heart in his hand,
I'm a son of thunder,
Underneath the spotlight.
Ooh, son of thunder,
Underneath the spotlight,
Ooh, son of thunder,
Underneath the spotlight,
Ooh, son of thunder,
Underneath the spotlight,
Ooh, son of thunder,
Underneath the spotlight,
Ooh, son of thunder,
Underneath the spotlight,
Ooh, son of thunder,
Under the light,
Ooh, son of thunder,
I'm underneath the spotlight,
Ooh, son of thunder.
