Above the Rain

lyrics

Above The Rain

Above the rain like a child against a broken window pane
All the lines in a nursery rhyme can’t find that time again
Nothing like the dawn to brighten your day
Wave her magic wand her magical way

Above the rain like a weathervane, with nowhere to turn
Folding grass don’t know to ask gods for air to burn
Nothing like the dawn to brighten your day
Wave her magic wand her magical way

Above the rain, like a man insane, upon a fiery steed
Frozen hooves destroy the roofs above what lies beneath
Nothing like the dawn to brighten your day
Wave her magic wand her magical way

Above the rain, on another plane, you can see everything’s alright
The sky is blue and the wind blows through ribbons of pure light
Nothing like the dawn to brighten your day
Wave her magic wand her magical way
Over and over and over and over again
