When I was wandering in the desert And was searching for the truth I heard a choir of angels calling out my name I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again I turned my face towards the barren sun And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground They are sealed and are now washed away [Chorus:] You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives They are sealed and now far away [Chorus] And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives They are sealed and now far away
