lyrics
Are you better off alone?
Or do you need a ride?
You walk along the pavement
And hide from the pain, wait for the night
And you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?
You’re better than you think
And stronger than you know
Just need a little patience
There’s room in your heart for feelings to grow
And you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?
Don’t let no one bring you down, down
Let life come and take you where it takes you, where it takes you
You only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You‘ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
Cos you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?
Or do you need a ride?
You walk along the pavement
And hide from the pain, wait for the night
And you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?
You’re better than you think
And stronger than you know
Just need a little patience
There’s room in your heart for feelings to grow
And you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?
Don’t let no one bring you down, down
Let life come and take you where it takes you, where it takes you
You only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You‘ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
Cos you only need a centred mind
To pray through the rain, wait for the light
If you only leave love behind
You’ll stay through the rain, wake in the light
So how can I, how can I, how can I explain?
