Burning Rain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I MADE A GIRL
SHE MADE A MAN OUTA ME
SHOWED HER MY WORLD
SHE TOOK ME OUT TO THE SEA
WAS IT OUR FATE OR JUST SOMETHING I SAID
WE FELL IN LOVE
BUT DON'T POINT THAT GUN AT MY HEAD
NOW I GOT A GIRL
WE MADE A HOME BY THE SEA SO GOOD
I GAVE HER MY WORLD
SHE GIVES HER ALL BACK TO ME LIKE WE SHOULD
WAS IT OUR FATE OR JUST TIME GOIN BY
DOWN BY THE SEA
WHERE WE LAUGHED AND WE LEARNED TO CRY
FOR REASONS WITH NO ANSWERS WHY
AH JUST HEAR ME FEEL ME
TOUCH ME SO CLEARLY
SHELTER ALL OUR LOVE
PLEASE HEAR ME FEEL ME
TOUCH ME SO CLEARLY
AND SHELTER ALL OUR LOVE WITH ALL YOURSELF
SOMEWHERE DEEP DOWN THERE'S A MASTER PLAN UPON US
TO CHERISH IT EVERYDAY
EVERLASTIN FAITH IS ON US
AND YOU'RE THE SHELTER I NEED TODAY
AH BABY JUST HEAR ME FEEL ME
TOUCH ME SO CLEARLY
SHELTER ALL OUR LOVE
PLEASE HEAR ME FEEL ME
TOUCH ME SO CLEARLY
AND SHELTER ALL OUR LOVE WITH ALL YOURSELF
YOU'VE ALWAYS KNOWN WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSIN
YOU'RE A FEATHER IN THE WIND
WHILE ALL THE WARMTH YOU'RE WISHIN
KEEPS CALLIN FROM WITHIN
CHORUS
BABY I CAN FEEL YOU, I CAN SEE, I CAN SEE
I SEE YOUR SOUL, BABY SHELTER ALL OUR LOVE
OH BABY I CAN FEEL YOU
I WILL SHELTER YOUR SOUL

However, their love was short-lived, as she eventually found someone else. Despite the heartbreak, the singer pleads for his life not to be taken away, indicating the intense pain he feels.
The second part of the song shifts to the present, where the singer has found a new love and built a home by the sea. He reflects on the uncertainty of whether their relationship was destined or simply a result of time passing by. This new love brings both laughter and tears, but they remain together, seeking answers to the mysteries of their connection.
The chorus emphasizes the need for sheltering their love, asking their partner to hear, feel, and touch them to provide comfort and assurance.
