lyrics

Rain

As I stand here
And feel the water
Running down my face
I wash my innocent hands
Hoping to clear myself from disgrace

My conscience is sitting near my ear
Telling me all that I did wrong
It burdens my heart to acknowledge
My mistakes all along

Rain, sweet rain
Wash away my airs
Wash away the years
Rain, sweet rain
Wash away my fears
And the tears

Over and over and over again
I catch myself being petty and cruel
I ought to know better
But I keep behaving like a fool

I intend to be kind-hearted
In every possible way
But I keep on failing, tripping, falling
On my face every day

Rain, sweet rain
Wash away my airs
Wash away the years
Rain, sweet rain
Wash away my fears
And the tears
