Rain

I walk in the rain. A river of tears surrounds me, (drowns me).
Sorrow closes in, tries to pull me in, my head begins to spin.
I walk in the rain. The thunder crashes, echoing, (calling).
Voicing my despair, to anyone who's there, "Does anybody care?"

Rain, please wash away this pain I feel.
Heal my heart, help me make a new start.
Rain, please wash away this pain I feel.
Nourish my soul, as you'd nourish a rose.

I walk in the rain. The lightning strikes above me, (blinds me).
Hot white streaks of light, penetrate the night, shadows fade from sight.
I walk in the rain, with the wind whispering around me, (Comforting).
Singing its song, "You've got to carry on, you've got to hold on."

Singing Its song,

"You've got to carry on, you've got to be strong."

Rain, please wash away this pain I feel.
Heal my heart, help me make a new start.
Rain, please wash away this pain I feel.
Nourish my soul, as you'd nourish a rose.

Rain, please wash away this pain I feel.
Heal my heart, help me make a new start.
Rain, please wash away this pain I feel.
Nourish my soul, as you'd nourish a rose.

Nourish my soul, as you'd nourish a rose.
