There are no illusions in this clumsy dance of grace
Your chiseled badge of courage, they will never erase
Heavy in your hatred, burdened to the bone
The weight is lifted in the welcome of the enemy into your home
Because
[Chorus]
I am the sky and the ground that's all around you
I am the rain to wash away your pain, so let it drown you
Driven to the desert, the heat's too much to bear
There's honest desperation in the final gasp of prayer
Because
[Chorus]
I am the sky and the ground that's all around you
I am the rain to wash away your pain, so let it drown you
All these unjust wounds, the bleed you into dust;
No longer flying, but dying, glowing in a jar
In forgiveness, there is freedom;
But even cuts that heal leave a scar
[Chorus]
I am the sky and the ground that's all around you
I am the rain to wash away your pain, so let it drown you
[Chorus]
I am the sky and the ground that's all around you
I am the rain to wash away your pain...
