Lyrics

RAIN

VERSE 1:
HEAD IN MY HANDS, IN A DARKENED ROOM, I?M WEARY CLEAR DOWN TO THE BONE
WOND?RING IF MY DREAM?S A MIRAGE, WOUNDED BY HARSH, ANGRY WORDS
SEEKING STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING ALONG, LIKE A MAN IN A DESERT ALONE
THEN SHE COMES TO MY SIDE, WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND ME, WASHES AWAY THE HURT
LIKE

CHORUS:
RAIN? SOOTHING, COOLING, CLEANSING
RAIN? SUSTAINING, REFRESHING
RAIN SOAKING DEEP INSIDE, REVIVING THE SOUL
WAKING SEEDS OF FAITH AND HOPE?
LIFE-GIVING RAIN

VERSE 2:
LOOKING AROUND AT THIS TROUBLED WORLD, ITS LONELINESS, DEATH AND DESPAIR,
SADDENED THAT IT?S COME TO THIS STATE, SEARED BY OPPRESSION AND HATE
THEN SHE HUGS ME AND SAYS THAT SHE CARES, SAYS SHE LOVES ME, WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
HELPS ME SEE THROUGH HER EYES WE CAN MAKE A DIFF?RENCE, SEE THAT IT?S NOT TOO LATE
FOR

CHORUS:
RAIN? SOOTHING, COOLING, CLEANSING
RAIN? SUSTAINING, REFRESHING
RAIN SOAKING DEEP INSIDE, REVIVING THE SOUL
WAKING SEEDS OF FAITH AND HOPE?
LIFE-GIVING RAIN

BRIDGE:
SHE SAYS
WE CAN TEAR DOWN WALLS OF INDIFFERENCE
HELP TURN THE TIDE OF STARVATION
START A NEW REVOLUTION
A REVOLUTION OF COMPASSION
LIKE

CHORUS:
RAIN? SOOTHING, COOLING, CLEANSING
RAIN? SUSTAINING, REFRESHING
RAIN SOAKING DEEP INSIDE, REVIVING THE SOUL
WAKING SEEDS OF FAITH AND HOPE?
LIFE-GIVING RAIN
