Pray For Rain

by: PFR

Daydreaming again
Trying to get my mind together
Seeing what could be
Will it take forever?
Let me have this moment
Let me take this minute for myself
A silence, oh, so sweet
Silence shared with someone else
Wanting to escape
I close my eyes
And all the day's confusion
Just passes by
My only release
Is to call on You
A comforting conversation
A message is getting through
This is my time
This is my time
This is ours to share
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is ours to share
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is my time
This is all our eyes can see
I close my eyes,You're in this place
Sometimes I look, I see your face
I close my eyes,You're in this place
And as I grew, I feel so afraid
