Rain

Rain



Rain, Her mother gave her a name on a weary day

24 hours of pain then she gave her away

Into the arms of another family

Into a life of confusion and misery



Rain, day after day in her room where the walls are bare

No dream exist in the eyes of her empty stare

Night after night in her room with no one to care

She lays her head down to cry and whispers a prayer



Oh woah



Oh God there must be some mistake

But no one's ever loved me

I'd like to believe in you and I try

But I'm just so lonely



Rain

Rain



Rain, she's got a smile in her heart no one's ever seen

She's got a life in her mind and a crave to dream

She walks alone on her way to a secret place

And fills her soul up with tears

Such a silent space

Oh woah



Rain, one tennis shoe on the ledge, one in midair

She feels a whisperin breeze rushing through her hair

She lifts her face to the sky in complete dispair

And cries aloud in the night with her very last prayer



Oh God there must be some mistake

But no one's ever loved me

But if there's something more in my life you can make

Here I am won't you show me



And then the clouds begain to roll

And the peace replaced her pain

And on her face and in her soul

She felt the drops of that same, same,



Rain

Pourin' Rain



I need your love to rain down on me
