Winter Rain

[Intro: emotional dance] Night falls upon us like a winter rain… A quiet twinkling melody amidst our pain… [short flute solo] [Verse 1: pop] I have heard people say that no one is alone; But people lie (and hope cries) and who’s gonna atone? We all abandon each other with dreams of finding more, But hope is blown (and we’re alone) in this winter storm. [Bridge: emotional dance] The stars are like a dancing shower, Pirouettes across the sky, As the moon sheds its tears… [Verse 2: pop] I have seen people laugh in the face of someone else’s fears, And what is there but to bear underneath their scathing jeers? We all curse each other so we won’t curse ourselves, So kindness tears and we live in fear within winter’s squall. [Chorus] Let the storm come! Let the rain hit hard! Let the world know - What it’s like to be torn apart… [instrumental] [Bridge: emotional dance] Crepuscular zephyrs twist into midnight gales… Dusk’s light sprinkle falls into nighttide’s hail… [Verse 3: pop] I have felt the piercing gaze of a savior everywhere, But hope is gone (and fear’s headstrong) so who’s gotta care? We all search in each other for something greater than ourselves, And I think I see (something in thee) painful like the winter rain. [Chorus] Let the storm come! Let the rain hit hard! Let the world know - What it’s like to be torn apart… [Verse 4: pop] I have smelled the scent of blood flowing with the rain, But we still live (and essence gives) so let us breathe the pain, We all stumble to find a reason to continue on, For that which slays (always finds a way) to raise life in the winter hurricane. [instrumental] [Verse 5: pop] I have tasted dawn’s rays after every storm, But it is the rain that washes and the wind that sweeps… Life grows from the flood. [instrumental] [Outro: emotional dance] Astral whispers slip into morning’s veil… But the echoes of the winter rain are not without avail… [short flute solo]
