It Can't Rain All The Time

We walk the narrow path

Beneath the smoking skies

Sometimes you can barely tell the difference

Between darkness and light

Do we have faith in what we believe?

The truest test is when we cannot see

I hear pounding feet in the streets below

And the women crying and the children know

That there's something wrong

It's hard to believe that love will prevail

It won't rain all the time

The sky won't fall forever

And though the night seems long

Your tears won't fall forever

When I'm lonely I lie awake at night

And I wish you were here, I miss you

Can you tell me

Is there something more to believe in?

Or is this all there is?

And the pounding feet in the streets below

And a window breaks and a woman falls

There's something wrong

It's hard to believe that love will prevail

It won't rain all the time...

Last night I had a dream

You came into my room

You took me into your arms

Whispering and kissing me

And telling me to still believe

(Within the emptiness of

The burning cities against which

We set our darkest of selves)

Until finally I felt safe and warm

I fell asleep in your arms

And when I awoke I cried again

For you were gone

Can you hear me?

It won't rain all the time...
