Don't cry if you've never seen the rain
thousand ways [bad word] undone, we're never quite the same
When the air we breathe is golden brown
I don't seemly understand
We have built [bad word] masquerade

Don't cry if you've never seen the rain
Go back to where your memory served
And recognize the pain
Don't drink the water, war will bring
Or open gates not meant to swing
So we don't see the red spread on the ground

Don't let me down
Don't lay off
For the time that we call is our own
We know [bad word] around
And the way that we walk will last long

I've been afraid and so lonely
My heart's bleeding through to know only [bad word] the moments we always
Look back to the sun that we know

Don't let me down
Don't lay off
For the time that we call is our own
We know we're pushing change
And we all need to walk in the rain
