Falling Rain and Light
Moby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pray the wild
Pray for sanity
Pray like falling rain and light

Pray that someone
Frees the sin of fear
For the times when seas of light were here
And I need you
Oh oh
And I need you

Pray that seasons
Sees us through these days of loss
Safe from storms oh and leave us here

Pray us wild
Pray us softly
Pray us safe unto the seas we know
Oh

And I need you
Oh oh
And I need you

Oh oh
And I need you
Oh oh
And I need you
Oh oh
And I need you
Oh oh
And I need you
Oh oh
Oh oh
And I need you




Oh oh
And I need you

Incredible track and visuals. I`m almost in tears right now.
For me - this is definitely Moby at his best; all in all - thank you so much for what you`ve been doing all these years from the deepest place I can distinguish in myself. For all the precious times and moments I experienced with creations of such. I don`t know the human personally, but my gratefulness is immesurable

@SuperCarebear007

Your music always puts me in a trance like and cinematic state of mind.
This is an utterly beautiful yet bittersweet caption of what an apocalyptic kind of world could feel and look like.
Love this so much🖤🙏

Heard this song around one of the last time I spoke with my mom :) I think she is watching over us. Like the angel she always wanted to be ❤
My son who is a toddler grabs her picture and brings it to his room to watch cartoons :)
