lyrics

Down where the raindrops sway,
Looking for the words to say,
Grab a cane and take a walk,
Through the hills which seem to talk,
Climbing up while looking down,
Listening to droplets hit the ground,

With many trees and grassy pines,
Barbed-wire fences and ‘keep-out’ signs,
Where packs of deer and rabbits roam,
A place where I once knew as home,
Me oh my how seasons change,
Been gone so long but come back in the same,

I feel my grandfather by my side,
Telling me there’s no place to hide,
Take the challenge and take the reins,
Carry on despite the pain,
A hope that’s floating through the air,
Where angels will be sure to note with care,

As the drops fall to the ground,
As the drops fall to the ground,
As the drops fall to the ground,
The drops fall,
As the drops fall to the ground

Need a shelter for the night,
In the distance a cabin’s light,
Beckons near a warming thought,
But to my dismay the door was locked,
Looked inside, people fast asleep,
Nice and warm but with finite heat,

I carry on through winding hills,
Where coyotes yulp with shuttering chills,
Stumble through a barren tree,
Wondering what it is I see,
Despite the cold, despite the night,
I sit below Golgotha’s sight with He,

And looking up despite the dark,
A dead man hangs to heal my heart,
A sacrifice to lift my curse,
His bruises couldn’t be any worse,
Under His feet I lay my head,
Knowing for me that He’s hung and bled

As the drops fall to the ground,
As the drops fall to the ground,
As the drops fall to the ground,
The drops fall,
As the drops fall to the ground

In the end there’s no mystery,
For one to guess or make-believe,
The scars are all too clear to see,
Un-faltered love for both you and me,
To the left or to the right,
The choice is yours to make tonight,
It begins all eternity,
The cleansing rain for all history,
The Lamb of God has now overcome,
The dragon’s throne with unending love
