The Rain Falls
((c)2000 Ben Travis)
I think the world
is a lonely place
We all look for ways
to make it more like home
We put pictures on the wall
But it doesn't help at all
Still the rain falls
So much hunger, so much war
Yet so little I can do
So I sit on my couch at home
Grab the remote control
See what's on
While the rain falls...
A little girl hears her father say,
"I wish you'd never been born at all"
And as she walks back to her room
Well, she wishes it too
Still the rain falls...
A woman comes to work
with bruises on her face
She says, "I fell down again."
And as the pieces fall apart
I know the bruises on her face
match the ones on her heart
while the rain falls...
The rain falls...
The rain falls...
