IF IT WASN'T FOR THE RAIN

Faded youth

Made plans for life as it passed

Restless nights

Each day more desperate than the last

Wasted breath

Wishing I was not myself

Bloodied knees

But I learned to stand because I fell

I’m built of broken pieces

Healed by being scarred

I want to thank you for the hard times

Thank you for the pain

Cause I would not know the sunshine

If it wasn’t for the rain

Broken heart

All the love that left me behind

Forgotten dreams

All the doors that I couldn’t find

Answered prayers

In footsteps walking away

Found redemption

Because of all my mistakes

I’m built of broken pieces

Healed by being scared

I want to thank you for the hard times

Thank you for the pain

Cause I would not know the sunshine

If it wasn’t for the rain

Strength in the struggle

Power in the pain

Strength in the struggle

Revival in the rhythm of the falling rain
