Falling Like Rain
    Rise Like The Sun

    Intro When tears fall like rain
    And you loose the things you live for, gone is the hope
    Why’s and wherefore’s run away, run away, fade away
    When sorrow squeezes the pain
    And the sounds of memories echo in your mind
    Once this land rang with liberty
    Health, and children running free
    My children running to me
    Based on the story of Job:
    1 v21 "Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised."
    3 v26 "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil."
    6 v11 "What strength do I have that I should still hope?"
    6 v24 "Show me where I have been wrong."

    V1 Dreams - angry or insane?
    Do they pacify the soul? Heal or blame?
    Dreams - running scared or running wild?
    Running hot or running cold - divide or reconcile?
    Dreams - no beginning and no end
    Running scared or running wild
    Running like a worried child
    I brought nothing to this world
    Nothing I take away with me
    Give me hope give me heaven
    Give me a drink of that crystal water
    Who closed the gates of heaven?
    Ch The Lord gave and He’s taken away
    Blessed be the name of the Lord
    V2 Dreams - what do I do now?
    Everything I had is gone - every prayer a rolling stone
    Dreams - does the devil take the night?
    Can he steal blessed peace? - did I do something wrong?
    Dreams - no beginning and no end
    Running scared or running wild - running like a worried child
    I brought nothing to this world
    Nothing I take away with me
    Give me hope give me heaven
    All I ask is the crystal water
    Who closed the gates of heaven?
    Mid Did I shout? No no, I didn’t raise my voice
    Did I swear? No no I didn’t lift a fist
    Did I blame? No no I didn’t point the finger
    Did I cry? My tears like tumbling rain – falling like rain
    V3 Dreams - I will cry and I will pray – I will call upon my God
    Did I do something wrong?
    Dreams - no beginning and no end - I will cry and I will pray
    I will call upon my God
    I brought nothing to this world
    Nothing I take away with me
    Give me hope give me heaven -
    Who closed the gates of heaven?
    No beginning and no end I fall down on my knees
    God is hope God is heaven
    God has opened the gates of heaven!
    Outro The Lord gave and He’s taken away
    Blessed be the name of the Lord
