The Rain Keeps Falling

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Andrew Peterson] I tried to be brave but I hid in the dark I sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark To light up all the pain that remained in my heart And the rain kept falling [Verse 2: Andrew Peterson] Down on the roof of the church where I cried I could hear all the laughter and love and I tried To get up and get out but a part of me died And the rain kept falling down [Verse 3: Andrew Peterson] Well I'm scared if I open myself to be known I'll be seen and despised and be left all alone So I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone And the rain keeps falling [Verse 4: Andrew Peterson] Somewhere the sun is a light in the sky But I'm dying in North Carolina and I Can't believe there's and end to this season of night And the rain keeps falling down Falling down Falling down [Verse 5: Andrew Peterson] There's a woman at home and she's praying for a light My children are there and they love me in spite Of the shadow I know that they see in my eyes And the rain keeps falling [Verse 6: Andrew Peterson] I'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the rote I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote But it's true and it feels like I can't sing a note And the rain keeps falling down Falling down Falling down [Interlude: Ellie Holcomb] Peace, be still Peace, be still [Verse 7: Andrew Peterson] My daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt And every day now we've been watching the earth For a sign that this death will give way to a birth And the rain keeps falling [Verse 8: Andrew Peterson & Ellie Holcomb] Down on the soil where the sorrow is laid And the secret of life is igniting the grave And I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait And the rain is falling [Interlude: Ellie Holcomb] Peace, be still Peace, be still [Outro: Andrew Peterson & Ellie Holcomb] Peace I just want to be new again Be still I just want to be closer to You again Peace Lord, I can't find the song Be still I'm so tired and I'm always so wrong I need peace Peace Help me be brave tonight Be still Jesus, please help me out of this cave tonight Peace I've been calling and calling Be still This rain just keeps falling Peace I've been calling and calling Be still But this rain just keeps falling and falling Peace Is it You Be still Is it You Peace Is it true Be still Is it You Peace, peace
