Let It Rain
Amanda Marshall Lyrics

I have given, I have given and got none
Despite all of the giving I have done in my life, I have received nothing in return.

Still I'm driven by something I can't explain
There is a powerful force within me that motivates me, even though I cannot identify or understand it.

It's not a cross, it is a choice
The burden I carry is not something I was forced into, but a choice I have made.

I cannot help but hear his voice
Despite my struggles, I remain attuned to the guidance and direction of a higher power.

I only wish that I could listen without shame
I feel ashamed of my shortcomings and faults, which makes it difficult for me to fully embrace the guidance I receive.

Let it rain Let it rain on me Let it rain, oh, let it rain Let it rain on me
I am ready to face the challenges and difficulties ahead of me, and to receive whatever comes my way with open arms and a willingness to learn from it.

Oh, I have been a witness to the perfect crime
I have seen people act in ways that are deceitful, hurtful, and unfair, and have been unable to stop them or hold them accountable.

I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
Even though I knew what was happening was wrong, I didn't do anything to stop it or speak out against it, and now I feel guilty and ashamed.

It isn't worth the tears you cry
The consequences of staying silent and complicit in wrongdoing are not worth the pain and grief that follow.

To have a perfect alibi
Trying to protect myself by creating an excuse or justification for my inaction or silence will not make me feel better or right the wrongs that have been done.

Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game
By not standing up for what is right, I have become a victim of my own complacency and cowardice.

It isn't easy to be kind (it isn't easy to be kind)
Striving to be compassionate, generous, and forgiving is a difficult and ongoing challenge, given the many obstacles and pressures we face in life.

With all these demons in my mind (with all these demons in my mind)
There are negative thoughts and emotions that plague me constantly, and that make it hard to stay focused on the positive and good.

I only hope one day I'll be free
Despite the struggles and burdens I carry, I remain hopeful and optimistic about the possibility of finding peace and liberation in the future.

I do my best not to complain (I do my best not to complain)
I try hard not to dwell on my difficulties or frustrations, and instead focus on finding solutions and support.

My face is dirty from the strain (my face is dirty from the strain)
My efforts to overcome the obstacles in my life have left me exhausted, worn out, and sometimes feeling defeated, but I refuse to give up.

Come take my hand We can walk to the light And without fear Can't see through the darkest night
Even when things seem bleak and uncertain, I know there is someone I can turn to for guidance and support, and together we can find a way through the darkness.

Rain Rain on me Let it rain, oh, let it rain Let it rain on me
I am ready to face the challenges and difficulties ahead of me, and to receive whatever comes my way with open arms and a willingness to learn from it.

Rain on me (rain) Rain on me Rain on me
I am ready to face the storms of life and use them as opportunities for growth, learning, and transformation.
