Song Lyrics

Every time I pray
The fear of failure pours down on me
Once my heart is strained
I never feel like going out
People call and say
They wish that they could come and help me
I tell them I'm ok
And crawl back in my bed

There's not much left to do but pray for rain
We could use a storm of two every day

You don't comprehend
The slightest things that might affect me
World keeps marching on
And I can't help but get upset
Left here by myself
There's no tears that will be falling
Nothing more than dirt and dust
Nothing left at all

I don't know who what else to do but pray for rain
I could write a song for you to ease the strain
There's not much left to do but pray for rain
We could use a storm or two every day

I need you, release me
Make me feel again, pray for rain

I need you, release me
Make me feel again, pray for rain

I need you, release me
Make me feel again, pray for rain

I need you, release me
Make me feel again, pray for rain
