Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from Imagine Dragons:
Thunder
Length: 3:07
Release: 2017
Opening Lyrics:
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things and
Wanna leave my own life behind
Not a “Yes sir”, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder
Thunder, thun-, thunder
Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-, thunder
Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
