Rain lyrics

When all my pain to rest was laid

The tears had dried, the changes made

And peace I found in loneliness

As gentle, caring emptiness

Old rituals gone, the past denied

To grave be laid the tears I cried

And find the strength to feel and see

The fate that lies ahead of me

The time has come to turn the tide

To break the bonds that years have tied

A time of change - A time of gain

To clean the soul with healing rain

Betrayal, lie, dishonesty

Of those who had surrounded me

Filled the emptiness inside

And took my honor, and my pride

And as my tongue spoke foreign words

And my hands did work, not mine

I stepped away from my own self

A puppet made by their design

I felt I had to clean their traces

Crush their words, erase their faces

Kill their presence deep in me

To open my eyes to see

The time has come to turn the tide

To break the bonds that years have tied

A time of change - a time of gain

To clean the soul with healing rain
