The Rain Keeps Falling

[Verse 1: Andrew Peterson]
I tried to be brave but I hid in the dark
I sat in that cave and I prayed for a spark
To light up all the pain that remained in my heart
And the rain kept falling

[Verse 2: Andrew Peterson]
Down on the roof of the church where I cried
I could hear all the laughter and love and I tried
To get up and get out but a part of me died
And the rain kept falling down

[Verse 3: Andrew Peterson]
Well I'm scared if I open myself to be known
I'll be seen and despised and be left all alone
So I'm stuck in this tomb and you won't move the stone
And the rain keeps falling

[Verse 4: Andrew Peterson]
Somewhere the sun is a light in the sky
But I'm dying in North Carolina and I
Can't believe there's and end to this season of night
And the rain keeps falling down
Falling down
Falling down

[Verse 5: Andrew Peterson]
There's a woman at home and she's praying for a light
My children are there and they love me in spite
Of the shadow I know that they see in my eyes
And the rain keeps falling

[Verse 6: Andrew Peterson]
I'm so tired of this game, of these songs, of the rote
I'm already ashamed of the line I just wrote
But it's true and it feels like I can't sing a note
And the rain keeps falling down
Falling down
Falling down

[Interlude: Ellie Holcomb]
Peace, be still
Peace, be still

[Verse 7: Andrew Peterson]
My daughter and I put the seeds in the dirt
And every day now we've been watching the earth
For a sign that this death will give way to a birth
And the rain keeps falling

[Verse 8: Andrew Peterson & Ellie Holcomb]
Down on the soil where the sorrow is laid
And the secret of life is igniting the grave
And I'm dying to live but I'm learning to wait
And the rain is falling

[Interlude: Ellie Holcomb]
Peace, be still
Peace, be still

[Outro: Andrew Peterson & Ellie Holcomb]
Peace
I just want to be new again
Be still
I just want to be closer to You again
Peace
Lord, I can't find the song
Be still
I'm so tired and I'm always so wrong
I need peace
Peace
Help me be brave tonight
Be still
Jesus, please help me out of this cave tonight
Peace
I've been calling and calling
Be still
This rain just keeps falling
Peace
I've been calling and calling
Be still
But this rain just keeps falling and falling
Peace
Is it You
Be still
Is it You
Peace
Is it true
Be still
Is it You
Peace, peace
