Rain Song Lyrics

I'm wandering around through a cool summer's night

I'm remembering situations like this one now out of sight

There is a sharpness in my brain, forget the light, remember the rain

Something about history, repeating the same things, defining insane

What does it mean when suffering's all you see

And when you don't see it, you're only looking away

Oh, what does it mean when it costs to be free

And the price is one you can't afford to pay

I've taken so much from this world and I can't give anything back

I have changed my direction, jumped over to the other track

I have been idealistic, I have claimed to be realistic

I have even provided an answer with a statistic

What does it mean when suffering's all you see

And when you don't see it, you're only looking away

Oh, what does it mean when it costs to be free

And the price is one you can't afford to pay

The sleeping sparrow dreams about flying

The sleeping sparrow dreams about flying

I close my eyes to sleep, I dream with chains wrapped around my feet

A golden sky hangs low over a dead-end street
