On days like these when the rain won't fall And the sky's so dry that even birds can't call I can feel your tears disappearing in the air Carried on a breeze on days like these. It's years like these that make a young man old Bend his back against the promises That life should hold They can make him wise they can drive Him to he's knees Nothing comes for free in days like these. And you can't reap what you don't sow And you can't plant in hollow ground Let us fill this empty world with hope Until the rain comes down. Days like these where every moment counts Add up all things that I can live without One thing left is the blessing of my dreams I can make my peace in days like these.
