Pray For Rain

We don't have to say a word
Sometimes its better when we don't
Apologizes aren't always heard

Sit beside me through the storm
The clouds above will take another form

Chorus
It would be so easy for you to walk away
All that i can tell you is
I want you to stay

Forget that man i was before
My eyes are open to the sky
My back lay flat against another shore

I can't erase mistakes i've made
And i can't stand to have them bring you pain

Chorus

The clouds are empty
They roll away
The sky is silent
I am amazed
That you are still sitting here
When you could have left me
To drift away

Chorus

If there is only one god, why do we serve so many
If there is only one law, why do we live like there aren't any
I'm not trying to get you down. i just want you to know
That if you're gonna live for god, you've got to let go

Chorus
Gotta let go of the little things, before they get you down
Gotta let go or they'll drag you to the bottom and hold you down
It's a war we all fight, and compromise is the battleground
But if you're ever gonna grow, you've got to let go

If there is only one truth, one original way
Why do we search like blind men
Can't see the sunshine in the light of day
We've got to turn around and run the other way
Cause if were gonna live for god,
We've got to turn away

Chorus b
Turn away from the little things
Before they get you down
Turn away or they'll drag us to the bottom
And hold us down
It's a war we all fight
And compromise is the battleground
But is we're ever gonna change
We've got to turn away

Chorus b

Hangin' on a string
Walking a tightrope
I've been relying on myself for far too long
Livin' on my own
And thinking i'd cope
Why'd i put you on the shelf
Oh i was wrong

Livin' on good intentions
Never got me very far
Only with your direction
Can i get to where you are

Chorus
Home again
I've been gone way to long
Home again
I don't want to roam no more
I'm where i belong

I must have thought
Dreaming again out of habit
Something bout tryin to get myself ahead
Led to want it all
Then remembering i had it
I've been down that road
And won't go back again

Chorus

Too many hearts
On too many strings
We could cut them down
But instead we let them hang in the breeze
Oh my brother tell me why

And why is my sister down on her knees
Crying out won't somebody help me
And where are we

Chorus
Didn't he love them
Didn't he hold out his hand
Wasn't jesus a model
An example to man
Of how we must love everyone in this land
And give till it hurts
Isn't that part of the plan

But we can't see through our religious charade
To take what he's given
And give love away

One more night
No place to call home
A torn-up jacket on his back
It's getting pretty cold
Where do i stand
Do i reach out my hand

And one more child's face
An my tv screen
She's dying of hunger
Shy can't we meet her need
And where are we

Chorus

But we can't see through our holy facade
To do the one thing that we're called to by god

Chorus

But we've all been blinded
By our selfish ways
Can we change this pattern
Will we stay the same

Chorus 2x

Didn't he love them

Do you feel like you wake up everyday
To watch your life slide right by
Is it slipping away
Does the question call to your mind
Are you just doing time
Could there be a better way

I say yes
You say maybe
But you've got to know

Chorus
Do you want to know love tonight
Isn't it time you had true love
Would you like a little peace in your life
Well, wouldn't you
Are you gonna know love tonight
Or will you stand in the corner again
Do you want to know love tonight

Did she come into your life
Did she walk into view
Just to walk out on you
Did he promise he would stay
Now he's driving away
Could any love be true

I say yes
You say i doubt it
But you've got to know

Chorus

Only one love is true
That's the love god has for you
Only one love is real
In his son it was revealed
Only one love will stay
Even when you walk away
Only one love can stand
Can you give this love a chance
