[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Myung]
[I. IT'S RAINING]
Under the sun, there is nothing to hide
Under
the moon, the stranger waits inside
People disappear
The music fades away
Splashing through the rain
I'll dream with them one
day
It's raining, raining,
On the streets of New York city
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
I may have wasted
all those years
They're not worth their time in tears
I may have spent too long in darkness
In the warmth of my fears
Take
a look at yourself
Not at anyone else
And tell me what you see
I know the air is cold
I know the streets are cruel
But I'll
enjoy the ride today
It's raining, raining,
On the streets of New York city
It's raining, raining, raining deep in
heaven
Raining deep in heaven
I may have wasted all those years
They're not worth their time in tears
I may have spent too
long in darkness
In the warmth of my fears
As I walk through all my myths
Rising and sinking like the waves
With my
thoughts wrapped around me
Through a trial of tears
Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world
Feeling uninspired, he gets into
his car
Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up
Not much better than the man you hate
[III. THE WASTELAND]
Still
awake
I continue to move along
Cultivating my own nonsense
Welcome to the wasteland
Where you'll find ashes, nothing but
ashes
Still awake
Bringing change, bringing movement,
Bringing life
A silent prayer thrown away,
Disappearing in the
air
Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me
Nowhere to turn,
I look for a way back home
It's raining, raining, raining deep in
heaven
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven...
