Heavy Rain

Light isn’t going to touch you if you don’t let someone care

Darkness that surrounds you if no one knows you are there

Heavy rains been falling, no one left to trust

Looking all around you, everything’s turned to rust

Knocking at the gate, the iron door swings ajar

A voice calls out to you, do you know where you are

You venture deep into your mind, remembering the steps that you took

You open your eyes wide, rubbing them, to take a second look

The image before you is something you never would believe

It echoes of the present, past and future all in time a relief

Light isn’t going to touch you if you don’t let someone care

Darkness that surrounds you if no one knows you are there
