Already Rained Too Long

Sometimes it's about glory and sometimes it's about shame
But most times it's all about the same ol' same ol' everyday thing
The mind seeks fascination
While the heart endures the strain
Seeking shelter from the storm
We're drowning in the rain

But it's already rained too long
I'm in a sea of trouble and I'm not that strong
But I know if the sun would shine
I could find my way home
It's already rained too long
It's already rained too long
And it will keep on raining
Till I lay it down

Sometimes it's about heartache
Wears us down by degrees
Most times it's nothing but our tired old ways
Brings us to our knees
Now most folks can bear a little sorrow
We've all had our fair share of pain
Sick at heart, lost in trouble
So hard to start again

It's already rained too long
I'm in a sea of trouble
Lord I'm going down
But I know if I just got right
I could weather any storm
But it's already rained too long
It's already rained too long
And it'll keep on raining
Till I lay it down

And sunny days
And morning stars
Are not for me
The skies are gray
And all I've known is pain
And now it seems to me
Like we're in for a bit more rain

But it's already rained too long
It's already rained too long
And it will keep on raining
Till I lay it down
Raining till I lay my burden down
