Lyrics
Every time I pray
Expressing the act of praying
The fear of failure pours down on me
Feeling overwhelmed by the fear of failure
Once my heart is strained
Feeling emotionally strained or burdened
I never feel like going out
Losing the motivation to go out
People call and say
Receiving offers of help from others
They wish that they could come and help me
Expressing a desire for assistance
I tell them I'm ok
Assuring others of well-being while struggling internally
And crawl back in my bed
Retreating to isolation and solitude
There's not much left to do but pray for rain
Acknowledging limited options and resorting to prayer
We could use a storm of two every day
Expressing a need for a metaphorical cleansing or renewal
You don't comprehend
Others' inability to understand the singer's struggles
The slightest things that might affect me
Sensitivity to small things affecting emotional well-being
World keeps marching on
Observing the world moving forward despite personal struggles
And I can't help but get upset
Feeling upset and isolated
Left here by myself
Being alone without the comfort of tears
There's no tears that will be falling
Emphasizing a lack of emotional expression
Nothing more than dirt and dust
Describing a state of desolation and emptiness
Nothing left at all
Conveying a sense of total loss
I don't know who what else to do but pray for rain
Reiterating the reliance on prayer as a coping mechanism
I could write a song for you to ease the strain
Suggesting an alternative, creating art to cope with stress
There's not much left to do but pray for rain
Reaffirming the limited options, emphasizing prayer
We could use a storm or two every day
Repeating the need for a metaphorical cleansing through rain
I need you, release me
Repetition of the plea for emotional release and renewal through rain
Make me feel again, pray for rain
-I need you, release me
-Make me feel again, pray for rain
-I need you, release me
-Make me feel again, pray for rain
-I need you, release me
-Make me feel again, pray for rain
