Yeah, oh diddy, oh diddy, oh
Ah, ah, konvict, konvict
Ah, ah, konvict music, yeah
The pressure's buildin' up, I feel like givin' up
How in the f*** am I gonna back my first album up
Well, everything has changed, it'll never be the same
Nobody know me then everybody knows my name
And I feel so ashamed
I never been the kinda *** that would complain
But it's so crazy man, it's no different
Everyday it's just the same thing
Now it's been months out on the road
On tour doin' so many different shows
Head spinnin' feelin' like it's gonna explode
And I just wanna know
If anybody out there's feelin' me
I'm losin' my mind and I can't believe
I let this s*** get the best of me
And now I gotta let you know
One's got me insane, oh, 'cause I can't stand the rain, hey
It's hitting my window pane a little too much
And now I gotta let you know
One's got my face in a frown, hey, 'cause I can't stand the sound, oh
The thunder that's crashing down upon my house
Hey, 'cause now I gotta let you know
Now I got no more worries now, my pocket's fatter now
Look in the mirror my reflection looks different now
You're gettin' bigger, Akon you need to settle down
Why do I feel this way
Should I be happy, oh, should I just ignore
Everything that I've been given, please help me Lord
It's all over but I can't escape the rain
Now it's been months out on the road
On tour doin' so many different shows
Head spinnin' feelin' like it's gonna explode
Now I gotta let you know
If anybody out there's feelin' me
I'm losin' my mind and I can't believe
I let this s*** get the best of me
Now I gotta let you know
One's got me insane, oh, 'cause I can't stand the rain, hey
It's hitting my window pane a little too much
That's why I gotta let you know
One's got my face in a frown, hey, 'cause I can't stand the sound, oh
The thunder that's crashing down upon my house
Singin', woe diddy, woe diddy, woe
I, I can't believe my luck
It seems I'm well and truly stuck
Now it's coming on again
My only friend the rain
You, you took me by surprise
When you opened up my eyes
All I noticed was a stain
My only friend the rain
My only friend the rain
I, I watched big chimneys fall
But you went through me like a wall
Are you sure you're not insane?
My only friend the rain
My only friend the rain
My only friend the rain
My only friend the rain
I was raised the northern way
and my father had a northern name,
I did my crying out in the pouring rain.
And a season turned into another one,
I found a heart bright like the morning sun.
He touched my lips, so softly, with his fingertips.
But I kept the rain
falling down on me
all the time, all the time.
I kept the rain
falling down on me
all the time, all the time.
And some things in life won't ever change,
there's a smell of a rusty chain
and of love disappearing like an aeroplane.
I've kept the rain
falling down on me
all the time, all the time.
I've kept the rain
falling down on me
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
Uh.. uh.. uh, uh, uh
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
It's not that we gotta do what we do
It's what we know, so to me it ain't nuttin but bein true but
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
It doesn't have to be the way it is, you say it is
Just because for the past 20 years, every day it is
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I wanna be able to walk out my front door
Without worryin about comin in conflict with the law, cause
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
If I follow Him, they'll follow me
And I'll speak life into the word that you can see
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
We get away with everyday shit, but everyday shit
catches up to you and when it does you can't say shit!
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
If I don't, you will, when I won't, you steal
What makes it feel like we gots to kill?
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
How many more lives must we lose?
How many more times must we choose to trust these fools?
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
I gave it to you straight don't mix it twist it up on some slick shit
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I don't have to talk to it any more
I don't have to walk to it any more, I'm out the door
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I wanna find peace with the Lord
I don't wanna find a beast with the sword, I can't afford to
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
When every day of my life
Is a constant fight between wrong and right
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I thank you Lord for my life
Thank you Lord for keepin it loose when things got tight
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the pain, yeahh
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
Only I can stop, the rain, stop, the rain, yeahh - WHAT?
... GRRRR, only I (only I) can stop (can stop) the rain (the rain)
Only I can stop the rain, cause the rain falls on me
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
[Tech N9ne: Intro]
I now pronounce
Me and music together
From now
Until the end of time
(time)
[Tech N9ne]
Always on the road
Doing hella
shows
Day to day, high and lows
But that's just how
it goes when you grinding
Homie ain't no rewinding
time with the family behind
In this business that I'm
I don't feel anything
It's hard remembering places
and faces
They think I'm what December brings
The day
is just like moments turned to hours
Autographs,
sound check, radio spots and quick showers
Hit the
stage and get so much love from the fans
Keep it rough
with the fellas
But I make the ladies wanna dance
still I don't think you understand what's real
While
I'm with you
With my wife,
another chance is killed
And my kids,
All 3 of them suffer in the worst way
Cause last year
I missed all three of their birthdays
So when you see
me with my eyes full of pain,
give me love
Cause these are three of the reasons why
I call the road the rain
[Chorus]
So here we are now
(In the rain)
A superstar now
(In the rain)
So far now
(In the rain)
The Rain (I walk in the rain)
I live
my life like (In the rain)
Just for the limelite
(Is it right or is it wrong)
[Alyia Yates,
(Tech N9ne)]
(My little girl says)
Daddy
(What'up)
Me and Reign really miss you
(Oh yeah)
Not to mention momma always need a tissue
(Yeah)
I saw your picture in the paper and I kissed
you (Oh yeah)
I heard you won't be home for Halloween
Is this true? (Right after Halloween baby)
Yeah I'm
used to it
Why don't you teach me and Reign how to
produce music? (Ha)
So we can travel everywhere that
you travelin,
Being a family me and sissy fightin
and tattelin (Haha)
I know you miss that
(No)
I know you dig that
Do your fans ever wonder about
where your kids at? (Yeah)
Is Donny really comin to
move with us in L.A.? (Uh.
Will mommy still love you and be with you everyday?
(Um...)
I gotta go now, I love you daddy but slow down
(Yeah)
There's not enough Tecca Ninas to go around
(Aw...)
Reignbow's cryin, she wants to talk to you
badly
(What's up Reignbow baby?
[Reign Yates] I love you daddy
[Chorus]
So here
we are now (In the rain)
A superstar now
(In the rain)
So far now
(In the rain)
The Rain (I walk in the rain)
I live
my life like (In the rain)
Just for the limelite
(Is it right or is it wrong)
[Tech N9ne]
I love
my fans,
Cause they make it possible for me to provide
for the fam
The fact that my life is in shambles
They
could give a damn
When it shakes,
then they choose it
Fakes who hate,
lose it
They love my pain cause it makes for great
music
But in the interim
This family matter is a tender
I might leave in January and come back
When the
winter come
Like, calling my wife in the rain and end
up getting into a dumb fight
Cause she lonely,
you try to consult her but you ain't come right
it's about what and what?
You give them everything
they need
But what they need is your presence indeed
Life, yes it's been a strainer
It's like I've been
a stranger to my kids and my wife
That's the life of
an entertainer
More money to gain
More people to change
Sore deep in the game
The worlds peepin my pain
on the road bustin for sure,
reachin for fame
Healthy relationships,
You can't have them when you live your life in the
rain
[Chorus][2x]
So here we are now
(In the rain)
A superstar now
(In the rain)
So far now
(In the rain)
The Rain (I walk in the rain)
I live
my life like (In the rain)
Just for the limelite
[Chorus: Jill Scott]
The little rain drops fallin' down on me
But I can't seem to feel it, feel it
Feel it coming over me
[Will Smith]
The rain gon' come through the window, pain will come
Black, white, rich, poor, it's the same old drum
Rainy days like the war, use wisdom as a weapon
Hold your head up, dry your clothes and keep steppin'
Let the children feel the rain, 'cause if they feel the rain
gt;From the wetness, they stand to gain
I came into the game, it felt like the middle of June
Music was warm, artists, like flowers, they bloom
Then boom, I shook the room, many felt the thunder
My time to shine, did it like summer
I wondered if the sun would shine forever
Pops said rain gon' come , to him I said never
Chedder in the genes, face on screens
Got a benz wit' the sheen, but what did it all mean
I earned money and burned money, credit cards smokin'
Platinumn, grammys, famous, but still broke and
Not having cash put me in check
Yo, the road to the riches is slippery when wet
Amongst the fall is where you truly find yourself
Ever since then, the rain I never felt
Deal wit' it
[Chorus]
[Will Smith]
At age seventeen, the worst pain, a hurrcaine
Her first name still conjuers the rain
Vowed to never let nobody ever get me wet
Lest we forget, love is a four season concept
Many say the rain they can't stand
Never let the weather determine the man
God has a plan, from it I never ran
Follow my heart through the storm, my umbrella in hand
I'm Noah, life's my arc
forty days and forty nights, still can't take my heart
Seen the fallen man
To dope and liquor brands
The devil'll dance to make it rain
Bringing the pain
Walk through the puddles of struggle on flooded streets
Soakin' wet, but mastered the art of peace
Through grey skies, I grew wise, on bended knees I knelt
Since then, the rain I never felt
What's wit' it
[Chorus]
[Will Smith]
Sometimes I sit in my room, stuff on my mind
Stress, can't rest, so I open the blinds
See kids in the streets, runnin' around
It wasn't touchin' 'em, but the rain was comin' down
I wondered how, with my mouth wide
Reminisce of the key, said I wanna go outside
In the rain, to see if the same would happen to me
'Bout that time, God started rappin' to me
He said pain is the mother of change, the rain must flow
So the seeds of joy might grow
Don't be afraid, find shelter in me
The road to greatness, through the valley of adversity
I felt the light as He proceeded to drop the gem
These little children, the world we must receive like them
I just smiled, and thanked Him for the cards He delt
And since then, the rain I never felt
What's wit' it
[Chorus]
I lost my daddy at 14, I lost Trell at 12, life in jail. Ain't it funny how the money makes you seperate the real and fake? I started off small time victim of the game, a monte carlo to a bentley and a diamond ring. I got fame but mayne my whole world changed. Some niggas left me in the rain, my girls changed, they changed on me! I thought I got lucky, 200 G's took my grandmother from me. I hit my knees(Why lord? !) I tried syrup I tried weed I could'ntcope nigga. Head down crying tears at the hospital. A broken home, tried to get my hustle on nigga killed Lil Ivy my soul gone. I bought my mama a house she cried instantly, all that shinin got my niggas in penitentary!
[Chorus: x2]
I can clearly see the sunshine, but I'm steady walking through the rain!
[Lil Trill:]
Still got hatred in the city after all that we done did all the toy give aways school clothes and things. Even for Easter givin the kids bikes and for that they ain't cryin up in Carroltyn now that ain't right. We still smile though cause of the sunshine, wonder what I'll do if I could press rewind. I done seen a lot half both sides of the field, the best of both worlds and yeah I'm for real. Mama got 7 kids with pops I stand alone. I'm walking through the rain but still I move on, I just started so right now I'm far from done. I keep moving on until I see the full sun. Patiently waiting but the best is still yet to come, I guess things happen for a reason when it's said & done. Say Lil B keep your head up just take it serious bra keep your faith in God cause he's the one who lay at us.
[Chorus x2]
Diabetes steady eating my insides fucking my vision up I swear to God I feel like giving up. Some times I'm laughin with my money machine, but they trying to put me on dialysis machine. I-v's in my arms, I know I'm doing wrong no insurance back to Early can't long. Being a daddy only thing that make me happy, I'm tired of getting sick same thing for young savage. I try to do right and help my community police still kicking at my door Dirty motherfuckers. You probably think I got the world at my hands, but really dog I got the world on my shoulders! When I look at your son I see your face homie (Lil Ivy) everybody pray for me cause they hating on me. Wish I could take it all back sometimes, truth is I don't even like to rap sometimes.
The rain runs down their carved names
[Chorus]
And there you are standing all alone, in the rain like oh no
And you don't know where to go, cause you're in the rain
And there you are standing all alone, in the rain like oh no
And you don't know where to go, but you're in the rain
And it keeps pouring down on you, the suns gone and your feelin' blue
And it's pouring down on you, but you keep on movin' through
And it's pouring down on you, the suns gone and your feelin' blue
And there you are standing all alone in the rain
And the rain comes pouring down
Yeah yeah
[Verse 1]
By no means am I livin' in vain, but I
Sit in the rain, I'm addicted to pain yeah
It feels good when it enters my veins
And every time I wake up it's a similar day
Cause I'm stuck in my ways
And everywhere I go the suns runnin' away
But this is what I get for my troublesome ways
So here comes the rain to fuck up my parade
I ain't got nothing to say
[Chorus]
And there you are standing all alone, in the rain like oh no
And you don't know where to go, cause you're in the rain
And there you are standing all alone, in the rain like oh no
And you don't know where to go, but you're in the rain
And it keeps pouring down on you, the suns gone and your feelin' blue
And it's pouring down on you, but you keep on movin' through
And it's pouring down on you, the suns gone and your feelin' blue
And there you are standing all alone in the rain
And the rain comes pouring down
Yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
And as I fall into the rain
Swimmin' through the flood, tryin' to unclog the drain
If you tryin' to find me my address is Memory Lane
Livin' amongst the darkness, so the dungeon is my domain
Higher than the mountains feeling lower than the plains
But this is what I chose so how can I complain?
And tryin' to find some brain is, really not my aim
Stuck inside my head, so it replays again
[Chorus]
And there you are standing all alone, in the rain like oh no
And you don't know where to go, cause you're in the rain
And there you are standing all alone, in the rain like oh no
And you don't know where to go, but you're in the rain
And it keeps pouring down on you, the suns gone and your feelin' blue
And it's pouring down on you, but you keep on movin' through
And it's pouring down on you, the suns gone and your feelin' blue
And there you are standing all alone in the rain
And the rain comes pouring down
You say you love me, but then you turn and walk away
All for a love not even born yesterday
I see you on the streets and you just pass me by
You think I got no feeling, think I'm living high
But let me tell ya…
I could be on the TV, I could be on them magazines
But it's never enough when you felt the touch
Of an angel that's rocking your soul
Chorus:
When the Rain comes down
You're never around
But when the sun comes up
You always steal the fire
And Rain comes down on this side of town
But people have no feelings
They just run around
They just…x2
Keep chasing dollars, it's making me holler
I just don't know
I don't need a check I need some respect
So people you know
And the war, and the babies crying
And the cars and the house and the rings
And the things that don't mean nothing?
You can try to hate, classify and mack you're rate down
But I'm here to elevate, I'll be floating in outer space now
Chorus:
When the Rain comes down
Will you be around?
When the sun comes up
Will you always steal my fire?
And Rain comes down on this side of town
But people have no feelings
Listen
Shh..
You hear that?
Can you hear that?
Listen
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Lying in my bedroom next to me
Nervous like a child playing hide and seek
I never knew how fast that your heart could beat
It's like it's your first time
But now that your intentions have been revealed
You wanna feel what lovers feel
There's no need to pretend if you don't know how
I'm gonna show you now
- Just say what you're feeling
Your secret is safe with me
Tell me your deepest thoughts
Whisper your fantasies
My love will never stop
I'll kiss you as every drop
Of the rain drops down
No, you're not dreaming
This is reality
More than you bargained for
All that you'll ever need
Everytime you come
It's like heaven opens up
And the rain comes down
First you'll feel all warm and tingly
Right before your legs start trembling
And you explode, from your head to your toes
You're feeling something that you never felt before
Together we'll experience the warmth inside
Until the very moment that we both arrive
You'll scream, shake and cry
Feeling so remarkable, it's hard to describe
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Making love in the rain
Losing ourselves in the storm again
Goin' everywhere
This is the closest that we'll ever come to heaven
No you're not dreaming
Don't be afraid
This is the way we're gonna stay
No you're not dreaming
It's funny but I can't laugh it's so sad but I can't cry but it dosent mean there's nothing left inside
I got some nasty scars to prove what I been through I guess it's safe to say that I'm nothing like you
B-Section
When your smile is your best kept secret when you smile they say girl just keep it desperate for change but things never change
Chorus
So I d rather stand in the rain though its poring down on me but its washing all my pain away
The waters rising high it over takes my life lying saturated I am won't let it drown me cause hope has got me floating behind the clouds a rain oh waits for me
B-Section
Chorus
Away away away away pain away pain away away
Pain is gone it's raining because it's raining on me draining my
Pain away it's raining washing my pain away washing my tears away
When I'm down and I'm cold, and
the blues have taken their toll;
and it looks like there's nowhere for
me to go. I feel the passion, I feel
pain and it looks like I'm gonna lose
again, so tell me ... whose gonna
stop the rain? It's gonna be You
Oh Lord
Just woke up from the longest
dream; a storm was raging down
on me. A fear so strong took ahold
of my soul; felt so weak I couldn't
take anymore; I couldn't take
anymore.
I saw a Man, eyes like fire; storm
rolled back with a wave of His
Power. Love lifted me higher; fear
fell away with the touch of His
Hand.
CHORUS I:
Livin' on faith; Never say never;
standing tall when the rain comes
down; gotta make it thru the stormy
weather; standing tall when the
rain comes down
I’m so glad what He's done for me;
took away my blues so easily.
Storms are gonna come and you
know it's a fact; but the Power of
the Lord is gonna make you stand
Love lifted me; fear fell away with
The touch of His hand
CHORUS I
CHORUS II:
Livin' on Faith ... Never Say never;
Standing toll when the rain comes
down. Gonna give it all, now and
forever; standing tall when the rain
comes down
The storm keeps raging down on
Me, but I will rise above, I’ll rise
above. Love is Ilifting me higher; His
love has lifted me higher. So I'll be
standing when the rain comes down.
Love lifted me; fear fell away with
The touch of His hand
CHORUS I
CHORUS II
The rain, the moon in all my life
The wind tonight blows all my dreams
I remember the time when we used
To be happy together
Every moment I spent by your side
Was a moment of love
Now I wait for your touch in the dark
And you're driving me crazy
And I have been such a fool thinking you
Could forever be mine
Tell me now, tell me now
Tell me now, tell me why
Tell me baby
When I look in your eyes I can't see
That you're fooling my pride
I remember the taste of your love
And the strenght of your feelings
And those memories are stronger than ever
They hurt me so much
Tell me now, tell me now
Tell me now, tell me why
Tell me baby
Why it's getting so hard to believe
You belong to the past
I will try to break
Every habit that holds me
I will try to make everyone happy again
I will try to take anything you can throw at me
I will let the rain come in
I will try to face everything that scares me
I will try to trace
Everywhere that I've been
I will try to wait for all of the hearts to be mended
I will let the rain come in
And if I try too hard
Or maybe not hard enough
I'll be the one who says
Its all gonna be OK
And if it all falls down well its never gonna really matter
Because the rain washes everything away
I will try to breathe
Deeper than all of the oceans
I will try to see
The battle instead of the win
I will try to leave
All that I've wasted behind me
I will let the rain come in
La da da da da...
[Chorus: x2]
We've been in the rain
We've been on the mountain
We've been 'round the fire
In fancy hotels
Drink water from farm wells
Uh, I'm stepping in this game and paying dues
Building a reputation now we making major moves
And now it's moving, how it's moving anyway I choose
And I've been working way too hard to just not make it through
You talk about me, prepare for what I say to you
Cause I'm a man and I will stand by what I say and do
There's a lot of ups and downs within this game of life
For every hater there's a girl that wants to stay the night
And now I got myself a taste of the fame,
I'm addicted I've got nothing else to chase
I kill it on the stage but still I miss the days
Of chilling in the crowd like a normal kid my age
But still I got this paper and still I got my pencil
And the craziest part is I haven't hit my full potential
The life I live is stressful, everyday suspenseful
Grinding every minute of my life to be successful
[Chorus:]
We've been in the rain
We've been on the mountain
We've been round the fire
In fancy hotels
Drink water from farm wells
Uh, I'm trying to make it with my sanity
Moving from the underground roots up to the canopy
Do it how I do it I just hope they understanding me
Trying to make it right with every member of my family
I know I was the mess up but now Chris stepped up
And took hold of what I always wanted from the setup
Now when people mention me they saying I'm the next up
It's been a long time since that A.D.D. checkup
The underclassman's graduated, top of the class
Now when I walk around town people nod when they pass
I'm just a kid who messed his life up and put it back together
A kid who hit the bottom and came back stronger than ever
I've been jerked around, stolen from, told I would fail
But now the numbers going up on every check in the mail
And if they not feeling it, I'll spit it in braille
Hating on me gets you nowhere, keep on chasing your tail (B*tch)
[Chorus: x2]
We've been in the rain
We've been on the mountain
We've been round the fire
And fancy hotels
Drink water from farm wells
You think the life I live is wonderful
Let me give you the flip-side
Try to go with the flow and get caught up in the riptide
Everyday it's studio or driving to a show
And no I'm not complaining I'm just letting people know
There's a lot of hard work that goes right into the grind
Especially without being signed and working overtime
Now every time I meet a girl there is a difference
Cause all they want is Webby without even meeting Christian
They just want to f*ck, maybe roll a l
And go back in the morning with a story to tell
And though it sounds great, the side of it you don't see
Is at the end of the day you're still lonely.
The fans show me love and I love my ninjas back
They hold me down and I'm forever thankful of that
And no I won't let you down you got my word on that
Cause I'm here for good, the Best In The Burbs is back
[Chorus: x2]
We've been in the rain
We've been on the mountain
We've been 'round the fire
In fancy hotels
Right now I'm crying out for someone
I feel it more than ever
If there is no-one that can show me
How am I to learn from my mistakes?
Cause there's nothing I can't do to stop the violence
Well there's nothing I can do to stop this pain
Cause I'm nothing without you
We're nothing without you
Well there's nothing I can do to stop the rain
Our island's calling out for someone
Our words they are marching for us
How I am falling like a broken cloud
But now the sun has burned into my eyes
Cause there's nothing I can do to stop the violence
Well there's nothing I can do to stop this pain
Cause I'm nothing without you
We're nothing without you
Well there's nothing I can do to stop the rain
Cause there's nothing I can do to stop the violence
Well there's nothing I can do to stop this pain
Cause I'm nothing without you
We're nothing without you
You say you love me but then you turn and walk away
All for a love not even born yesterday
I see you on the streets and you just pass me by
You think I got no feelings, think I?m living high
But let me tell you
I could be on the TV, I could be in their magazines
But it?s never enough when you felt the touch
Of an angel that?s rocking your soul
When the rain comes down
You?re never around
But when the sun comes up
You always steal the fire
And rain comes down on this side of town
But people have no feelings
They just run around
They just, they just
We keep chasing dollars, it?s making me holler, I just don?t know
I don?t need a check, I need some respect, so people you know
And the war and the babies crying
And the car and the house and the rings and the things
That don?t mean nothing
You could try to hate, classify and make your rate down
But I?m here to elevate, I?ll be floating in outer space now
When the rain comes down
Will you be around?
When the sun comes up
Will you always steal my fire?
And rain comes down on this side of town
I don't know how far I can see
'cause it's all blue water streaming towards me
The sun needs to shine normally
but it's all grey rain
The rain, the rain on me, rain on me
Chorus
So I will find a place, where I can hide from the sky
And I will wait in this place,
'cause I know you're trying to
Open up your sky
Push away the dark clouds and shine
Forget the thunder so loud, don't be afraid
Show yourself ! Don't hide now !
The rain, the rain on me, rain on me
The rain, the rain on me, rain on me
I don't know how high you can see
but it's all grey water falling down on me
The sun needs to shine normally
but it's all grey rain
well she laughs at all of us still she loves us all the same
were we greedy or green she will wash herself clean with a cleansing pouring rain
were we saving her? no we were saving ourselves from the feelings of her pain
and our cries of regret wash the last of our breath away
well she laughs at all of us still she loves us all the same
were we greedy or green she will wash herself clean with a cleansing pouring rain
were we saving her? no we were saving ourselves and our efforts were in vain
and our cries of regret wash the last of our breath away
when we feared for the end of our days
were we saving ourselves from the pain
will we ever get out we will never get out
will we find our way out of the rain
well she laughs at all of us and our self plotted mass grave
her greedy little children bit off more than they could chew
do we stay ‘til the end? do suffer the winds? well i’ll stay as long as you
but i won’t find the words there’s just not enough time to be true
well i knew this day would come but it came far too soon
i was robbed of the chance to show you how i feel, how i need you
watch the sun’s final rise as the waters rise up, are you thinking of me too?
well i’m holding my breath wishing i could hold you breath, i could hold you, but it won’t come true
close your eyes but don’t bother to pray
in the end there will be no more pain
cause we’ll never escape no we’ll get never get out
no we’ll never get out of the rain
and so dimworld survived humankind before they even had the chance
to nuke the planet right out of orbit right out of time and space
still she carries on as she always has-we were just a blink of an eye
but we made our mark we left plenty of scars to prove we were alive
well i hope it was all worth the cost
as we drown in these waters of loss
as we long for the days when threw it away
know those days are no longer for us
close your eyes but don’t bother to pray
in the end there will be no more pain
cause we never escaped no we never got out
The Rain
The rain …
Yeah… yeah uuh..
Let's go
Verse 1:
Looking through the mirror of my life
Thinking of the times when things were right
Is anybody there to hear my cry in lonely nights
I need someone to make the darkness turn to light
Bridge:
Seasons come and change
The memories remain
Tell me why you left me stranded in the rain
The rain yeah
Chours:
And I know I'll never see your face again
Why did god take away a perfect friend
I'm broken and flyin' without wings
[damn I need you here now]
What I'd give to bring you back into my life
Since you gone I can't seem to make it right
I'm broken and flyin' without wings
Verse 2:
Feeling like a child that lost its way
Nothing I can do to come back home
Sometimes I lay in bed and pray to god to make it end
But that won't change until I see your smile again
Bridge:
Seasons come and change
The memories remain
Tell me why you left me stranded in the rain
The rain yeah
Chours:
And I know I'll never see your face again
Why did god take away a perfect friend
I'm broken and flyin' without wings
[damn I need you here now]
What I'd give to bring you back into my life
Since you gone I can't seem to make it right
I'm broken and flyin' without wings
C-Part:
Baby I got lonely without ya
Everyday I'll be thinking about ya
Baby I got lonely without ya
Everyday I'll be thinking about ya
Chours:
And I know I'll never see your face again
Why did god take away a perfect friend
I'm broken and flyin' without wings
[damn I need you here now]
What I'd give to bring you back into my life
Since you gone I can't seem to make it right
The rain, the rain
Rain came down in sheets that night
And you and I stared out to the left and to the right
Rain came down and cursed, seemed to laugh at us
Still daylight
The clouds, the clouds
Clouds raced all across the autumn sky
And you and I fumbled for a way to say goodbye
Strangers weren't we
Scared to look into each other's eyes?
Strangers weren't we
Scared to look into each other's eyes?
I know a man with the world on his shoulders
and angel wings on his back
angered and troubled by so much thats out there
and struggling not to paint it black
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
and bring the sun
and he lives all alone out by the railway
only dreams for company
and at night he flies high up to the stars
and sets his spirit free
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
and bring the sun
and he dreams of a girl with the moon in her eyes
and fire in her heart
and one day he'll find his way to her
and never will they part
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
but the rain will come wash it all away
In this death scenes within my thoughts
Black dawn is breaking so deadly cold
I roam alone these empty streets
In silent rain, frozen inside
This mourning rain can't wash away these tears
Beneath the dead cold sun
This silent rain can't hide away these tears
Beneath the dead cold sun
In these death scenes within my heart
My world has turned to shades of grey
You draw these black marks, you made these scars
She's the type of girl that makes you feel better.
Don't matter how you used to feel.
She's the kinda girl that follows with the weather.
And the sun brings out her sex appeal.
If you want to talk to her it don't matter.
You'll be breathless when she calls your name.
Oh I'll bet that you can hear the rain.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
How do you think I can make you feel better?
How do I know what you say is real?
Liked an imaginary love letter
Talking mostly 'bout her sex appeal.
If you want to talk to her it don't matter.
You'll be breathless when she calls your name.
Oh I'll bet that you can hear the rain.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
so put on a smile and it'll be alright.
These are the good times in your life,
Some days go on forever
Sometimes the weatherman says rain
We’ve all had days staring blankly out the window
Watching all the plans we made go down the drain
She had a long day in the city
And it’s finally her turn to complain
I tried to improvise and told her about the time
I had to buy a rented tux with a whiskey stain
My little story didn’t seem to impress her
I was just trying to cheer you up, baby
I can make it better
Well, I’ll get around to it when the sky turns blue, but
‘Til then it’s gonna have to wait
I’ll do it, love to do it for you baby
But I can’t turn off the rain
And it’s hard to be patient when you’re waiting at the station
Worrying never did anything
I’ll do it for you baby but I can’t turn off the rain, rain, rain
Oh, it’s been one of those days
Trying to find a rock to crawl under
A place to hide my face and I just
Want to go pretend like I don’t have any friends, but
You have the nerve to call and interrupt my little, pity party
Just to ask me how it went
Well how does it sound like it went, man?
I don’t know, close the door and threw my phone
And sat down on the bed, like what the hell
Like a ghost I felt that guilt surround my soul
And I could hear my grandpa’s voice saying “listen up boy, listen well‿BR>
Well, we’ll get around to it when the sky turns blue, but
‘Til then it’s gonna have to wait
We’ll do it, we’ll go outside
But we can’t turn off the rain
And it’s hard to be patient when you’re waiting at the station
Worrying never did anything
We’ll do it, but we can’t turn off the rain
Here come the home
Here come the kids
There goes the money you were fronted
Here come the wave
It’s headed straight at everything that you just bought
And now you’re standing on what just became your FEMA parking lot
He said “Baby I don’t think that I could make good on that promise this time.
Oh, that diamond’s out of reach.‿BR> She said, “Honey I don’t need a ring, just you more than anything.
Now that we’ve lost everything lets just lie on this beach together.
I know you love me, you’re just saving it for better weather‿BR>
We’ll get around to it when the sky turns blue, but
‘Til then it’s gonna have to wait
We’ll do it; oh, we’ll do it all
But we can’t turn off the rain
And it’s hard to be patient when you’re waiting at the station
Worrying never did anything
We’ll do it, baby, oh we’ll do it
Yeah we’ll do it all
[Verse 1]
Please go outside
I wanna show you where
You'd like to be
See the awe in the distance
Waiting for love to shower on me
[Hook]
I could be the one that you need
Follow me, follow me (yeah)
Follow me, follow me (yeah
I could breathe, you purify me
Follow me, follow me (yeah)
Watching you follow me
[Chorus]
Ooh can you feel the rain fall
All over you? all over me? yeah
And every single thing gone
There is only you, there is only me yeah
And this compares to our love
I say that it's non-stop
Can you think of it any other way?
I'm just taken by the moment
That we're in, God brought
I wouldn't want it any other way
In the rain...
[Verse 2]
Look into my eyes
You look into my soul
Let yourself go
(Let it rain, let it rain)
I'll hold you tight
No need to stay dry
What we are feeling is in the air
[Hook]
I could be the one that you need
Follow me, follow me (yeah)
Follow me, follow me (yeah
I could breathe, you purify me
Follow me, follow me (yeah)
Watching you follow me
[Chorus]
Ooh can you feel the rain fall
All over you? all over me? yeah
And every single thing gone
There is only you, there is only me yeah
And this compares to our love
I say that it's non-stop
Can you think of it any other way?
I'm just taken by the moment
That we're in, God brought
I wouldn't want it any other way
In the rain...
[Bridge]
Soaked? it's your call...
Do we go in? or stay out?
I know there's a way
Give us hope for today
Cause tomorrow, they'll be sunshine
And when you wake
It will be left behind, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Ooh can you feel the rain fall
All over you? all over me? yeah
And every single thing gone
There is only you, there is only me yeah
And this compares to our love
I say that it's non-stop
Can you think of it any other way?
I'm just taken by the moment
That we're in, God brought
I wouldn't want it any other way
In the rain...
How long has it been dear
Since we felt the rain?
Endless were our summers
Until the weather changed
Our love was lifted like a harvest
No winter in your eyes
Now cold winds cut right through us
And so the harvest dies
Stranded and lost without you
My pain lives in this house
It's like your heart here, empty and cold dear
My wild birds flyin' south
I know that you can hear me crying
Where did I go wrong?
What brought this storm into your heart
After lovin' me so long?
Someday maybe you'll blame
All this on the rain
But until then love's the one thing
I'll never feel again
And after all my tears have drowned me
And nothing else remains
I'll be one step short of Heaven
Seeking shelter from the rain
Someday maybe you'll blame
All this on the rain
But until then love's one thing
Switch off your television screens!
Take a look at more sights to see!
There's a world outside with a mind of its own.
The weather's unkind but so is your home.
Take your eyes away from the skies I'm scared.
Take your eyes away from the skies and what I'm
thinking of, and what I'm thinking of!
Switch off your television screens!
Take a look at more sights to see!
There's a world outside with a mind of its own.
The weather's unkind but so is your home.
Take your eyes away from the skies I'm scared.
Take your eyes away from the skies and what I'm
thinking of, and what I'm thinking of!
I can't stop thinking about the rain.
I can't stop thinking about the rain.
Because the sun is now getting to my brain
and there's a loop that has turned and its coming round
again.
You've knocked upon my door.
You've let me know that you want letting in.
But you've been here before
but you didn't like the way I let you in.
I can't stop thinking about the rain.
I can't stop thinking about the rain.
Because the sun is now getting to my brain
and there's a loop that has turned and its coming round
again.
As night follows day, light will not stay.
As the charm turns to curse
I say this day this charm is going to bring the worst.
I can't stop thinking about the rain.
I can't stop thinking about the rain.
Because the sun is now getting to my brain
Today, I don't want it to be the same as yesterday. But,
over and over and over again, nothing ever changes, what
is the fucking point? The rain never stops falling on
this city, and I don't want to be washed away. I can't
live my life this way. If this is the last day that I
ever breathe. I don't want to regret the things I could
I don’t wonder
But sometimes I sit and ponder
And I know that you will be there for me
I don’t bother
Feeling sorry even when I wanna
‘Cause I know that you will be there for me
And I
I wanna love you
Oh you take the rain
Make it go away
I know better
Than dwelling on the stormy weather
And I don’t want any other girl but you
I don’t worry
And you know that I ain’t in no hurry
‘Cause you know that I keep moving on
And I
I wanna love you
Oh you take the rain
Make it go away
Rain go away
Don't give me no story I don't wanna know
I can tell the difference between
a hound and a Romeo
the sky is turnin' green
I think it comin' down
this storm is gonna hit
and it's gonna knock me to the ground
and I can see your pain
oh Lord I can feel your blues
and I can smell the rain
before one drop hits the dust
Don't give me no story I don't wanna know
I can tell the difference between
a hound and a Romeo
the sky is turnin' green
I think it comin' down
this storm is gonna hit
and it's gonna knock me to the ground
and I can see your pain
oh Lord I can feel your blues
and I can smell the rain
before one drop hits the dust
yeah
and I can see your pain
and I can smell the rain
(The) rain falls slower
Blood drips cold
Compendium of terror
Never to be told
Death has senses
Which burn and enlight
Clawing at the darkness
Unprepared for the sight
Rain
Liquid isolation
Eyes frozen closed
Blindness breeds deception
Feel fire walk your toes
Reign
Watch yousrelf get buried
[Solo:]
Have you ever had a day that you wanted to erase?
Tear the page out the history books and try again
But you knew that you couldn't so you put on a brave face
And waited till you could make your escape
And when you finally got away
From the people and the gossip and the judgement in their gaze
You let your guard down and something just gave
All of a sudden, tears falling till they running down your face
Whatever it was, you fought with your friend
Or your boss, or maybe you got a heart that won't mend
Or you struggling with the rent, or missing something you lost
Or maybe you're just tired of pretending
You feel the weight like a pain in your chest
Till you strain and you ache and you break and you sob
And it's grey till it stops, till it fades
Till it's gone like the tears sorta washed it all away
Sometimes I like to think it's the same with drops of rain
That each one's just a tear falling off of God's face
Sitting all alone in the clouds looking down on us all
Watching every mistake that was ever made
Every bit of pain, every murder, every rape
Every person who's having a shitty day
Taking it all in till he breaks down and cries
Till his eyes dry up and he gets on with it again
And I had this very faith tested on an ordinary day
I was walking down a busy street around my way
I saw a face in the crowd that made my heart skip a beat
A man who looked exactly like an older version of me
So I moved through the hustle and the bustle of the day to day
Until me and this man stood face to face
We locked eyes and for a moment time moved in slow motion
As the crowd around continued on their paper chase
I stood frozen in disbelief and opened my mouth to speak
But to my surprise the words wouldn't come
And then he looks into a clear blue sky up above
And say "it's gonna rain", and then it does
And as the rain came down like missiles from the sky
Set on a collision course from the heavens to the ground
He's just standing in the middle of it all
Unconcerned by the panic and the people running round
So I stepped to this man with my hand outstretched
Just to offer him some help to get the storm up off his head
He took my hand down and we stood getting drenched
He looked me in the eyes with a smile, this is what he said
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
So play this song on the days when the rain keeps on
And you wait and you pray it'll stop
And if you stuck in a storm, then spare a second for the thought
That we all at the mercy of the gods
So instead of looking for somewhere to place the blame
Accept it as a part of that big lazy eight
Go outside and stand under the clouds
And embrace it as the rain keeps plummeting down
And say: Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
From the million dollar brands to the tags on the train
It'll all wash away in the rain
From the birth to the dirt man, the cradle to the grave
It'll all wash away in the rain
What's been and gone will come again
It'll all wash away in the rain
So hush child, from the joy to the pain
Another grey day in the sewer; staring blank eyes, closed up, blank minds.
Fools on parade. The end is near. None shall be saved, no conscious is clear.
Rejoice now! Old humankind has used up all it's precious time. The
Complaining masses shall be silenced for all time.
I've seen it coming, I've seen all the signs. I know there's no tomorrow,
nowhere to hide, all shall drown, all shall die. Soon comes the rain.
I darkness, in silence I wait. Anticipation's growing as the hour's
growing late. Frustration increasing, I'm getting tense;
The world needs to get cleansed. I've waited for days, no sky fall
has shown. I might as well do some fucking killing of my own.
Here comes the rain. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I'll hunt you down,
you shall die-Here comes the rain. Here comes the rain, I am the rain.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I come with pain, I come with fire, so let it rain.
Come, follow me into the rain. Come, fall with me; I am the way.
Come, follow me-just let it rain.
The day of the rain has come to pass. The day of the rain is here at last
To even out the final score, Please God, just let it pour.
Come follow me into the rain. Come fall with me, I am the way
Come follow me-just let it rain.
The day of the rain has come to pass. The day of the rain is here at last
AinÂ't it hard to belive
that the love that we had is over
Thought the house that we built
was strong enough to last forever
Cause now this partyÂ's over
and you wanna be friends
but when the music stops
tell me how will it end
I could try to pretend
but if I see you again
I wonÂ't lie
I might break like the sky
cause inside my tears is falling
and all I can see is rain
inside I hear you calling
but all that I feel is pain
See I used to get mad
now IÂ'm sad
guess IÂ'm learning my lesson
there is no use in tears
when you know love is not possession
Cause now this partyÂ's over
and you wanna be friends
but when the music stops
tell me how will it end
I could try to pretend
but if I see you again
I wonÂ't lie
I break down and cry
cause inside my tears is falling
and all I can see is rain
inside I hear you calling
but all that I feel is pain
cause inside my tears is falling
and all I can see is rain
inside I hear you calling
I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
And i'll never be the same
Tossing, and turning
Another sleepless night
The rain is crashing
Against my window pane
Jump into my car
I didn't drive too far
That moment i knew
I would never be the same
I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
And i'll never be the same
Now here you are
Begging to me
To give our love another try
Girl i love you and i always will
But darling right now
I have to say goodbye
I saw you (and him)
Walking in the rain
You were holding hands
Aahe, aahe, ahe
keep hoping
Aahe, aahe, ahe
change will always come
Aahe, aahe,
Keep hoping,
(feels like the rain wont come)
help is closer than you think
Keep hoping.
Soon youll fly again, shine again, fly again
(feels like the rain wont come).
The rain will come!
All this pain, all the pain i feel
Burning, scorching my dizzy heart
All your pain, all the pain they feel
Torment, tearing and torn apart
Comes from the heart
Heart of a planet
Pneuma against sarx
The fight is obsolete
(i) cover the sky - with the dark and threatenin'
clouds
Waiting to release an acid rain on the ground
Open hearted - i gave life to these creatures
But forest of life turned to swamps of torture
"feel sorry for your lives...
...i know it's insane.
End your fight to survive... the end of your life
I'll release the rain"
Erasing with the rain
" end your fight to survive... the end of your pain
I'll release the rain "
The rain will erase those creatures
Colossal rain is fallin' down
All lifeforms exterminated
Deliverance, my tears're raining down
Take a walk with me, love
You say you can't get enough
Well you won't till you open your door
And you give some more to me
And the silence in your steps
As you tip-toe around the rest
Makes me want to pull you in
And kiss you, my friend, and your silly games
And I'm not tired
I could chase you around
And debate you here again and again
So tell me lies if you want to
I can take it, I won't be afraid
'Cause I am the rain
The rain is gentle some days
It can clean off the mess that Winter made
The rain can wash all the years of doubt
And the tears that were shed
So just look up please
Shine a little bit of hope to me, oh
Let me know there's a season for all
And a season to call you my love
And throw me off with your pride
It's okay, I won't hide here again and again
I'll tell you there's no mistaking
The reason that I'm not afraid
'Cause I am the rain
The rain will wash us clean
And I know the rain will wash us clean
And when it does, I'll be right beside you
Holding on, holding on
The rain will wash us clean
And I know the rain will wash us clean
And when it does, I'll be right beside you
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
I'd love to see you in the rain
I'd love to see you in the rain
And it's pouring now
Somebody took your sunshine with no warning now
So you put your walls up, they keep falling now
Tell me can you hear the Grim Reaper calling out
So tell me what would you do
When you hearing on the news a hurricane coming through
A president he don't put in no order
Had to wait in the water when you're tryna save your daughter
I know it's on the TV screen
And I know that to you it my seem
Like another show that you could go change the channel
But really though could you go and get a handle of reality
'Cause this could be your book to you
Don't care about the people who don't look like you
And I know it's hard to understand our pain
It's insane, little has changed
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
See you handle success but what about the rest
What if you lost your last all of excess
Would you still give praise does it say God bless
Maybe rough times will lead you in a APS
You know what they say that a smoker never quits
When he loses all his senses right back to cigarettes
Blinded by the lights like it was fate this thinking
You could beat the house because that's just another myth
So you won a couple hands and you on top of the world
But lady look as such, a promiscuous girl
But when you separate like Jennifer and Brad
Would you still give thanks for everything you had
Or would you turn in again cause instead I made you messy
That's what's separate the dropouts from the grands
And that's what separates the superstars from the fans
Clear skies from the storms, [?]
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
It's kinda funny how when you got money
You so hard and crum
Bud would you be so scrupulous if you ain't had a dime
Bet your stands would be different if you feel on hard times
Living in the ghetto [?] out of our times
Bet you scared when you give as you're peeking through the blinds
You probably get your hustle on get up on your grime
You probably try to get out the hood by any means
Even if it means selling dope to [?]
Without a hope or a dream, now you roped in a scheme
Where you close to the edge, do you know what that means?
People only scream 'bout how you need to change
And, oh he ain't living right and they don't know your name
And it gets so cold and makes you holler
So you sell your soul for a dollar
But the truth be told, you got no problem
And say I got no one to blame
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I saw you - and him, and him - walking in the rain,
you were holding hands and I'll never be the same.
Tossing and turning, another sleepless night,
the rain crashes against my window pane.
Jumped into my car, didn't drive too far,
that moment I knew i would never be the same.
I saw you - and him, and him - walking in the rain,...
I saw you - and him, and him - walking in the rain,...
Now here you are begging to me to give our love another try,
girl, I love you and I always will,
but darling, right now I've got to say good-bye.
I saw you - and him, and him - walking in the rain,...
I saw you - and him, and him - walking in the rain,...
