No matter
How you slice it
and dice it
Only the truth
remains

Do you really listen
To the rain
Do you really listen
To the rain

If You are too fast
jus’ reverse
The past
No slogan here
Create your future
Not your fear
How will you
do you
That is the question
Do you really listen
To the rain
Do you really listen
To the rain

Only
So many
Broken hearts.
Only so many cries
can fit in a cloud

Before it rains
Before it rains

Does it rain by you
Or does it pour by you
How many cries can fit in a crowd
Before we change
Sax Solo 8 bar

How many cries
can fit in a cloud?

Before it rains

Do you really
Listen

Do you really
Listen to the rain

Does it Rain by you
Or
Does it
Pour by you
How many cries can fit in a cloud
Before we change
Sax Solo
How many cries
can fit in a cloud?
Before it rains.

This is the future
Where
Autocracy
Tries to reign

In this crowd

There are Cries in the crowd
Listen to the pain
Their cries in the crowd
Listen to the rain

(Oh the)
No-reward for
The sage I am
To retell the past
the ramblings
Of a an old man ham

That tells (telling) you
The future
What will be done
Telling you what (bass turn)
you will do
Into the new future-verse

A universe
Where you’re
forced to belong
No slogan here
Create your future
Not your fear (bass turn)
How will you
do you
that
Is the question
