When I close my eyes,
You are right beside me and I know you won't ever leave
And I'm glowing, and I'm shining
There's so much that I don't understand
But you enable me to see more clearly
And I'm no longer under the raindrops.
But my eyes are open and the rain is falling
And I'm getting wet, and people are calling
Crying out, "O Lord, please help us!"
And they shout, "Why won't you heal us?"
And they ask, "Why is there such suffering and strife?
I don't want to live my entire life in the rain."
When I close my eyes,
Everything is suddenly more perfect than I can believe.
It's not snowing, I'm not pining,
And as you take hold of my hand
You guide me and I'm safe and finally free
And I'm no longer under the raindrops.
But my eyes are open and the rain is falling
And I'm getting wet, and people are calling
Crying out, "O Lord, please help us!"
And they shout, "Why won't you heal us?"
And they ask, "Why is there such suffering and strife?
I don't want to live my entire life in the rain."
If it were only possible to leave this broken place
If only I could fly away
Why is there always so much pain in this world?
I close my eyes and I'm free...
But my eyes are open and the rain is falling
And I'm getting wet, and people are calling
Crying out, "O Lord, please help us!"
And they shout, "Why won't you heal us?"
And they ask, "Why is there such suffering and strife?
I don't want to live my entire life in the rain."
