about

As I looked out my window watching the rain fall I was reminded of the depth of my situation. This song came pouring out of me like the rain falling to the ground. I ask 'where's the rainbow' because I wonder when I will feel the sun shining on me again.

lyrics

How can you know what's in my mind
When all of you hardly take the time
I've been stripped down to the core
But it's not like I haven't been here before
I sit in silence by the sea
Waiting for you to follow me
And when I make everybody cry
They never really know the reason why

I drank too much the night before
Couldn't find what I was looking for
I seek forgiveness for my life
I don't want to be apart from my wife
White is the colour of my skin
But there is darkness deep within
Words that seem so incomplete
Is so often filled with conceit

I live my life in nonchalance
It really is a learned response
And one day this rain will stop
I only hope before I drop
Until then I will sing my song
And try to fix all that is wrong
Then I'll meet you at the gates of hell
Reminded all of you as well

So how can you know what's in my mind
Without the answer you are going blind
This rain will pour down on my head
Repaying me for the things I said
Each drop is there as a testament
Each measure holds a sentiment
The rain falls hard against my door
Listen now you will hear it roar.

Rain - where's the rainbow
Rain - where's the rainbow
Rain - where's the rainbow
Rain - where's the rainbow
