the rain keeps falling

i tried to be brave but i hid in the dark

i sat in that cave and i prayed for a spark

to light up all the pain that remained in my heart

and the rain kept falling

down on the roof of the church where i cried

i could hear all the laughter and love and i tried

to get up and get out but a part of me died

and the rain kept falling down

well i'm scared if i open myself to be known

i'll be seen and despised and be left all alone

so i'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone

and the rain keeps falling

somewhere the sun is a light in the sky

but i'm dying in north carolina and i

can't believe there's and end to this season of night

and the rain keeps falling down

falling down

falling down

there's a woman at home and she's praying for a light

my children are there and they love me in spite

of the shadow i know that they see in my eyes

and the rain keeps falling

i'm so tired of this game

of these songs

of the rote

i'm already ashamed of the line i just wrote

but it's true and it feels like i can't sing a note

and the rain keeps falling down

falling down

falling down

peace

be still

peace

be still

my daughter and i put the seeds in the dirt

and every day now we've been watching the earth

for a sign that this death will give way to a birth

and the rain keeps falling

down on the soil where the sorrow is laid

and the secret of life is igniting the grave

and i'm dying to live but i'm learning to wait

and the rain is falling

peace

be still

peace

be still

i just want to be new again

i just want to be closer to you again

lord

i can't find the song

i'm so tired and i'm always so wrong

help me be brave tonight

jesus

please help me out of this cave tonight

i've been calling and calling

this rain just keeps falling

i've been calling and calling

but this rain just keeps falling and falling

is it you

is it you

is it true

is it you
