Dark clouds gather overhead, I pull my jacket tight.
I've been running from the shadows, that follow me through my life.
The first drop hits my shoulder, I quicken up my pace,
Trying to outrun the sorrow, painted across my face.

Tears from the sky, washing down.
Nature's release, when words aren't found.
Thunder rolls like a broken heart,
Tearing the very heavens apart.

Tears from the sky, falling free.
The world is weeping, weeping for me.

Shelter seems so far... The downpour quickens now...
Something shifts inside me, as rain touches my brow.
I stopped running away, let the water touch my skin.
The storm outside matches the tempest deep within.

Tears from the sky, washing down.
Nature's release, when words aren't found.
Thunder rolls like a broken heart,
Tearing the very heavens apart.

Tears from the sky, falling free.
The world is weeping, weeping for me.

So I lift my hands up high, face turned toward the storm.
The rain mixes with my tears, and something new is born.
No more hiding, no more fear, let the downpour sing.
There's freedom in surrender, there's healing in release.

Tears from the sky, washing down.
Nature's release, when words aren't found.
Thunder rolls like a broken heart,
Tearing the very heavens apart.

Tears from the sky, falling free.
The world is weeping, weeping for me.

Tears From the Sky
