Burning in the Rain

My hope gets lost in reflections of idealistic joy
These masks and statues of disguise rip apart my pride
Seperating the love one gives from the desires one feels
Love often disguises itself as need for renewl of yesterday's fall
Hope becomes a manipulation of desire for tomorrow's need
Purity of heart and mind is taken at such an early age
Fear and rage seem to be our only saving grace in turning the page
I'm scared to give what I feel I no longer have, to take what is not mine,
and to dream that which will disappear
What is real and what is mirage?
I'm desperate to give my all but I'm so weary from the fall
Passion burns within but I'm a flame burning in a world of rain
I am so scared to give my heart away, so I give it to you Lord to
do with what You may.

As I was typing this a God moment occured and this song started playing--God never ceases to amaze me. In times of loneliness, despair, joy, and happiness--He sits and relishes these moments with His children.

She never slows down. She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down She won't turn around The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down [CHORUS] So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain She won't make a sound Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down She wants to be found The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down. [CHORUS] So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down Stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found [CHORUS] So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain.
