I stand like a tree with upturned leaves

Awaiting a gentle rain

My parched heart needs the moisture

It's dried from all the pain

When you went away, the sun burned out

Left we frozen here in time

But I didn't give up and I didn't give in

There was one mountain left to climb

When I reached the peak, looked toward the sky

facing all my fears

The heavens parted, the rain poured down

Washed away my tears

I stood there in the pouring rain

Soaking up every drop

Then i felt it, my heart was healing

I had finally reached the top

Sometimes it feels like your heart is shattered

And you'll never love again

All you really need to do

Is stand out in the rain
