Footsteps in the dust of a wasteland trailing back to a prison
I'd rather leave a memory... a thought of yesterday
Then raindrops like bullets in a black sky start falling
Slowly breaking away the mess I've made
Wash away my yesterday

I can feel this rain down the back of my body
Falling hard, every drop is just like a brick that's breaking me
Washing away my yesterday
As the water gets high I can see it in the black sky
It's gonna take a flood to wash away the mess I've made
But if that's what it's gotta take...
Then Lord bring the rain

I can't tell between the rain and my teardrops
Drowning me slow until I finally let it go
Let the water take my soul
Then suddenly I'm on my knees realizing
If drowning means I'm breathing for the very first time, I welcome the pain...
I'm begging for the rain!

I can feel this rain down the back of my body
Falling hard, every drop is just like a brick that's breaking me
Washing away my yesterday
As the water gets high I can see it in the black sky
It's gonna take a flood to wash away the mess I've made
But if that's what it's gotta take...
Then Lord bring the rain
