You attempt to board the train
Though the car is full of liars
Recognize the tendency
You're the great compromiser
Suppose sooner or later
We're all just survivors
Prayer become the heart's lost words
When you're too close to the fire
If you get a patch of ground
Well it's there you draw your plan
If you get a soap box
It's there you take your stand
All the kingdoms that rise up
They collapse without a sound
Yeah the driving rain is cleansing
Driving rain is cleansing
Driving rain is cleansing
Out here on this proving ground
Well I remember the summer
Shimmer in the laughter
We were lying to each other
About what we were after
And I'll admit that just perhaps
Judgment is too stern
When your dreams have long been buried
And your bridges they're all burned
Hear that there are secrets
Told that there are maps
Ah but everyone we've been privy to
Has closed on us like a steel trap
Leaves you full and noble
Dreams you never lost them
Stays with you forever
Long time after you're forgotten
