Downpour
Vs. 1 Give me some rain to wash away the sadness
Give me some Rain, pour it from the clouds
Give me some rain, clean me from this madness
Give me some rain, drench me, drench me now
So Pour Down, So I can be filled up.
Pour down, don’t leave me here dry, with this empty cup.
Vs. 2 Will you come and walk with me today?
Will you come beside me in the rain?
Will you hold my hand in this dark storm,
And remind me after winter, spring does come?
So Pour Down, let it all go down the drain.
So pour down, leave me free, from these heavy cloudy chains
Bridge: let the sun break through, but not before I’m filled
Downpour and make me new
Till winter, can be properly killed
So Pour Down, So I can be filled up.
Pour down, don’t leave me here dry, with this empty cup.

Burning Cactus
V2. 1 Like a burning cactus across a plain
You thought you could go so long without rain
But the drought of love has paid its toll
Because the wind has not let the clouds roll
And let fall some softness on your thorns
To wet with forgiveness and let you mourn
Then to move forward and not dry up
Before bitterness in you erupts
I see you burning up on the inside
And the heat is gonna bring you down
Vultures are circling overhead and you’re smoldering on the ground
But the clouds start to form
The lightning it strikes
Your vision is lost by the rain in your eyes
Put out that burning man
Or he’s gonna burn you down
VS. 2 You stand there imagining what you could shout
With your thorns into your enemy as you shoot them out
But he’s carrying on along his merry way
As you grow much more brittle drying up in your hate.
Don’t you see what’s flaring up in you is in your control
Acknowledge all the hurt and pain and please let it go
Before some sparks form from the match you want to cast
Ignite in your own hand a captive to the past
I see you burning up on the inside
And the heat is gonna bring you down
Vultures are circling overhead and you’re smoldering on the ground
But the clouds start to form
The lightning it strikes
Your vision is lost by the rain in your eyes
Put out that burning man
Or he’s gonna burn you down
Bridge:
The Fire’s flaming up with the poison that you pour
Inside yourself- it’s your own solo war
That spite won’t touch the one who crushed you
Your “Right to revenge” will only char you through and through
I see you burning up on the inside
And the heat is gonna bring you down
Vultures are circling overhead and you’re smoldering on the ground
But the clouds start to form
The lightning it strikes
Your vision is lost by the rain in your eyes
Put out that burning man
Or he’s gonna burn you down

To the Strength Within
Cm (or c#m?)
Keep moving on, Moving on, Moving on and Carry on
Keep moving on, Moving on, Moving on and Carry on
Keep moving on, Moving on, Moving on and Carry on
Keep moving on, Moving on, Moving on and Carry on
This time shall pass, keep pushing through
Only you know what you should do
You gotta take one step in front of the other
Even if you crawl, keep going, brother
You gotta keep on pushing to the one you’ve been called
You’re strong and beautiful, even if you fall
See the land you’ve covered, covered, covered how far you’ve gone
Take a moment to hover, hover, hover and dwell upon
See the beasts you have past by of worry, doubt and fear
They grabbed your arm, pulled your heart, but you persevered.
Pay no mind to all those eyes around you, just take a step forward,
And do what you need to do.
Acknowledgement is the river that you send your demons down
Throw them in tumultuous waves and watch them drown
And then you gotta carry on

The Answer
We were waiting, waiting to find the answer
is it right in our face, the answer?
Can you hear it now?
We are wandering, wandering around disaster
it’s all in our face disaster
When will the hospital call?
When will we be there?
Where is the love I’ve been waiting for?
Why should I bother with this?
What is the purpose of existence?
When will I know what I was made for?
We’re all waiting, waiting to find the answer
is it right in our face, the answer?
I wanna hear it now
We’re all wandering, wandering around disaster
it’s all in our face disaster,
One day the answers will be revealed
like stones uncovering a secret key
and until that day you will find me
asking and knocking and seeking and yeah you know I’ll be finding, finding
Oh cause I”m waiting waiting to find the answer
is it right in my face the answer
oh so much disaster
where are you answer
ohh
