Let It Rain
One moment of mercy was all that it took
To drive me clean out of my head
A piece of my heart had been sleeping so long
I had given it for dead
Better than I have traveled this journey
And none have returned here unchanged
But the lilac’s in bloom and the thunderhead looms
And my lonely heart prays for the rain
Chorus
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let the waters of love wash away all the pain
Let the hope of redemption be all that remains
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
When the ancients and mariners looked toward the heavens at night
Did they yearn for the day
Or were they transfixed by the wonders they saw
In the lights that guided their way
I need to believe that there is no sadness so great
That it cannot heal
But sometimes the longing inside, it consumes me so much
Well it’s all that I feel
I stand on the ledge
And I cling to the edge for dear life
Afraid to let go
What if love’s call pulls me into a free fall
What then
Oh tell me what then
Somewhere way out there, beyond right and wrong
There’s a place that I long to see
If I don’t return, I’ll be wishing you well
