Written by David Mahnke with George doing the arrangements. Another song born from hardship and trials that Dave went through. Dave brought the idea and some lyrics to practice. Said what he thought the chords should be like for it. George started playing some chords and Dave said, "that's it!" Song was finished in about 20 minutes.
lyrics
I dream of a place So calm and gentle
Where the light Kills the darkness
And the gentle river Puts me to sleep
It’s a perfect place For us all
(Chorus) (Echo)
Let it rain Let it rain
Wash this dirt away Wash it away
My body cries My body cries
So let it rain Let it rain
My body cries My body cries
So, let it rain Let it rain
(repeat last two lines 2X)
(Guitar)
We need a little rain To make us grow
Let the rain fall Let it fall
My body cries Ooh, my body cries
Wash it away Away
(Chorus) (Guitar)
Can somebody tell me Am I the only one
With the world on my back Am I the only one
I feel so afraid Fenced in fear
I wanna break free To throw it in the wind
(Chorus) (Guitar)
