When It Rains

Though when it rains, it pours
As life threatens to swamp and flood
As life keeps closing all my doors
As I'm forced to pay in blood

As life threatens to swamp and flood
All I need is for you to stay
As I'm forced to pay in blood
Together we'll find another way

All I need is for you to stay
Show me that they won't get us to turn
Together we'll find another way
Together you and I will learn

Show me that they won't get us to turn
Show me that we won't always lose
Together you and I will learn
That they won't make us choose

Show me that we won't always lose
And we won't drown in the coming rain
That they won't make us choose
'Cause sometimes life is more than pain

And we won't drown in the coming rain
As life keeps closing all my doors
'Cause sometimes life is more than pain
Though when it rains, it pours
