Lyrics

As I feel rain begin - I sing this song again
Ive tried to move on from this place - with the shame on my face
Now I feel a need for this confession - after endless introspection
and all the things I have seen - are a weight on me

For all the years of a warrior desperate running - for all the tears - of a life in rain and stormin
from a voice (time) I hear clearly coming

now someone has to stand - and see this world is dieing
someone has to care - that we're walking on a wire
and this life has just become - just a bunch of noise that's drowning
a voice that calls out in the rain
There's a voice that calls out in the rain

I have set my face hard
toward the course of my dreams
and I have vowed in my heart
to attain greater things

But nothing matters in the end
when the fires fade and dieing (passion has faded)
though your goals are in hand (the world in hand)(gold in your hand)
but your soul is still crying

Bridge
safe in our delusions - we've hid in this confusion
Do we really buy the lies they say - to get ourselves through these days?
They say no one can knows the answers - one works as well as another
can we cure our own pain ? And can we stop this rain?
