Rain
Rag'n'Bone Man Lyrics

Oh how this dream has gone
The dream that once felt so real and alive has slipped away.

It's taken flight with the wings I've worn
The dream has departed along with the hope I had once believed in.

The candlelight has died before the dawn
The hope that originally existed slowly faded away before the dream could even take shape.

I came here across the sea
I ventured into new and unknown territory.

I had a fate that was owed to me
I believed that destiny had something in store for me.

I didn't know what I was looking for
Despite having a sense of purpose, I didn't know exactly what I was searching for.

Now the rain is coming down
The present moment is filled with a sense of loss and sadness.

Since then my eyes have changed
Over time, my perspective and outlook on life have shifted.

My points of view are rearranged
My thoughts and opinions have been reorganized due to my experiences.

The dreams I had have been left along the way
The hopes and aspirations I once had have been abandoned or lost over time.

If you saw the rain you will harvest the storm
If you're able to recognize the warning signs, you can prepare for the worst.

But our hearts were half formed and roaring for past thorns
Despite not being fully matured, our hearts yearned for past pleasures and experiences.

The rain fell, we couldn't make it stop
Despite our best efforts, we were unable to halt the negative outcomes that resulted from our actions.

We were acting like these people we were not
We were pretending to be something we weren't, which ultimately led to our downfall.

It was meant to be perfection
We hoped for an ideal and flawless outcome.

I could see it, a reflection of everything I've learned
I once had a clearer understanding and vision of how things should be due to my past experiences.

Cards played, hands shaking
We take risks and make decisions, despite feeling uncertain or nervous about the outcome.

But until you've lost your nerve felt the road swerve out from beneath
You can't truly face or understand your fears and weaknesses until you've experience failure.

You can't feel the piece of feeling stationed
You're unable to comprehend or appreciate the small moments of joy and satisfaction in life until you've experienced hardship.

I found you after a lifetime of searching
After a long and arduous journey, I finally found what I had been looking for.

But after the lifeline is caught comes the working
After attaining what was once sought after, the real work and effort begin.

'Til it's gone wrong, it can never go right
Sometimes, in order to make things right, you have to first allow them to go wrong.

'Til you been blind you can't recognize sight
You must first go through a period of naivety or confusion to fully understand what is in front of you.

You can't fight the rain
You can't always control the negative aspects of life.

Better get to like the rain
It's better to accept and learn to appreciate the difficult moments in life.

Clear skies right now
Things may seem calm and peaceful at present.

But tonight the rain will fall down
However, there may be hard times in the near future.

Drink the rain grow tall a flinch and drink away
Experience the difficulties head on, become stronger and persevere.

You'll fall prey to the water
If you don't confront and learn from the struggles, you'll succumb to them.

I should've checked the cards before I played
I should have investigated and been more cautious before making a decision.

I should've known that I could still be saved
I should have realized there was still hope for a better outcome.

What kind of game is this to be gamblin' with my happiness?
It's harmful to treat one's own well-being as something to bet with or take advantage of.

Now the rain is coming down
The sadness and despair remains, despite past experiences.

Now the rain is coming down
The negative circumstances continue to persist.

Now the rain is coming down
The ongoing sense of loss and sadness exists.

Now the rain is coming down
Another wave of negative emotions is about to hit.
