Can not stop the rain

Can not stop the rain

(Verse 1)

I don't want you feeling bad for me, no
Can't explain all the things that I see, oh
When I'm sad, it rains outside, deep in my spirit
The sadness does hide.
Like a sponge, my heart absorbs the pain,
Clouds move in and it begins to rain.

(Pre-Chorus)

Better to laugh, better to smile,
Let the sun shine bright, at least for a while.

(Chorus)

Can not stop the rain, just a part of life!
Sorrows of this world, they cut deep like a sharp knife!
If only you could see me, or I could explain,
Find the root of the cause and end all this pain!
Don't need you to feel sorry or hold my hand,
Just that you try to understand!

(Verse 2)

Nobody to talk to, nowhere to turn,
My soul is on fire, a steady burn.
I dream of a world filled with peace and love,
Seek the face of my God in the heavens above.
I just don't get it, can't understand,
Why evil so dark can roam so freely across this land.

(Pre-Chorus)

Weight of this world, crushing my heart,
Watching as loved ones from this world do part.

(Chorus)

Can not stop the rain, just a part of life!
Sorrows of this world, they cut deep like a sharp knife!
If only you could see me, or I could explain,
Find the root of the cause and end all this pain!
Don't need you to feel sorry or hold my hand,
Just that you try to understand!

(Bridge)

I couldn't save them, can't even save myself,
Another story book put on the shelf.
Visions of future, bad dreams at night,
Battles with darkness and losing the fight.
When it all seems pointless and my world is crashing all around me outside,
Looking deep inside me for a place to hide.
When I'm feeling hopeless and helpless, nothing more I can do,
My Lord Jesus, I am reaching for You!
Please hear me, Jesus, remember my name,
Show me the way home, I ask in Your Holy Name!

How did I get here? Is it all a dream?
Will I ever find peace?
Should I cry out for mercy? Should I pull my hair out and scream?

Give it all to God and surrender it all?
Will I ever wake up or continue to fall?
Is it the end of the world? Is it the end of time?
Am I just crazy? Is it all just in my mind?

Can not stop the rain, just a part of life!
But the sorrows of this world, they won't win this fight!
Though I couldn't explain, and you couldn't see,
The root of the cause, it sets my spirit free!
No need to feel sorry, just understand,
With my God by my side, I can still take a stand!

For even when the deepest storm does rage,
And the world tries to turn a tear-stained page,
There's a light within, a truth so profound,
In God's endless love, true peace can be found.

(Outro)
Can not stop the rain... but I can find the sun again.
