The Rain Keeps Falling

I tried to be brave but I hid in the dark
I sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark
To light up all the pain that remained in my heart
And the rain kept falling

Down on the roof of the church where I cried
I could hear all the laughter and love and I tried
To get up and get out but a part of me died
And the rain kept falling down

Well I'm scared if I open myself to be known
I'll be seen and despised and be left all alone
So I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone
And the rain keeps falling

Somewhere the sun is a light in the sky
But I'm dying in North Carolina and I
Can't believe there's an end to this season of night
And the rain keeps falling down
Falling down
Falling down

There's a woman at home and she's praying for a light
My children are there and they love me in spite
Of the shadow I know that they see in my eyes
And the rain keeps falling

I'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the road
I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote
But it's true and it feels like I can't sing a note
And the rain keeps falling down
Falling down
Falling down

Peace, be still
Peace, be still

My daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt
And every day now we've been watching the earth
For a sign that this death will give way to a birth
And the rain keeps falling

Down on the soil where the sorrow is laid
And the secret of life is igniting the grave
And I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait
And the rain is falling

Peace, be still
Peace, be still

(Peace, be still)
I just want to be new again
(Peace, be still)
I just want to be closer to You again
(Peace, be still)
Lord, I can't find the song
I'm so tired and I'm always so wrong

(Peace, be still)
Help me be brave tonight
Jesus, please help me out of this cave tonight
(Peace, be still)
I've been calling and calling
This rain just keeps falling
(Peace, be still)
I've been calling and calling
But this rain just keeps falling and falling

(Peace, be still)
Is it You
Is it You
(Peace, be still)
Is it true
Is it You
(Peace, peace)
