There in the afterglow
My solo world in view
glimpse beyond the world I know
An open door that I walk through?

And falling from the sky,
a tear before the rain.
But it will pass me by -
holding back again...

man possessed wings to fly
beyond this space and time
The rhythm of this heart of mine
Is beating like a battle cry

And if I let it go
Will strength provide relief
from fearful winds that blow -
only disbelief 

Tears falling
I'm calling
out into the air
My sun is rising where I stand - (I know)

One day I wake up
and suddenly I'm found
High flying man has been unbound (and so)

the hourglass is winding down
as all [bad word] so clear

now tears that fall are all around
and rainbows in the sky appear

Tears falling
I'm calling
out into the air
My sun is rising where I stand - (I know)

One day I wake up
and suddenly I'm found
High flying man has been unbound (and so)

And here I am once more
I'm standing in the light
much stronger than before

tear before the rain one tear before the rain.
