Good night, world, take a rest.
You haven't seen me at my best.
Walk away from day's reverberation,
now's the time for God's restauration.
Freedom I long for,
Free as the wind,
that the raindrop is bringing
to my window-sill.
Lashing against glass.
I'm lashing against me.
Freedom I ask for,
so free I will be.
Not easy, not perfect
What's going wrong.
So many ditches,
try to be strong.
And the rain stays awake with me,
hugging the streets,
singing his song.
The rain stays awake with me.
We wait through the darkness,
we wait for the light.
God's in control,
and I'll be alright.
And the rain stays awake with me.
He whispers while waiting,
crying with me.
The rain stays awake with me.
Tears and rain mingle,
are flooding creation,
are dancing of hope, are sweet as can be.
The rain stays awake with me.
