(Intro)
-riff-
Will you hold my hand?
-riff-
Do I have to stand
-riff-
in this world all alone
-riff-
where it's icy cold
and all the people chime in
"You've got to sink or swim"?
(pre-verse)
(Verse 1)
Where there's rain there's drought,
So I'll confess my doubts.
Where there's threshing of the fields
something's bound to yield.
(Chorus 1)
And all the people cry out,
they feel they're about to drown
on the ocean floor
but I know there's more
(Verse 2)
I know You understand
what it's like to me man
Sometimes I forget You're near
Sometimes I forget you hear
(Chorus 2)
The way the raindrops fall,
the sound of the wind as it calls,
and every breath I breathe
and song I don't sing.
(Intro riff 4x)
