I waited for applause
Stuck in a mirage
I wanted it all
Stuck to this rod
And the rain did fall oh
For the first time in years
And god did strike me so
Made me to fall to my knees
I thought it would be easy

I am a dead man walking
Across these railroad tracks
My heart may be broken
But something beautiful grew
From the cracks

I felt it grow, I felt it grow `
Oh in the pouring rain, in the pouring rain
Don’t let it drain, don’t let it drain
It needs the strength
To stay alive
So come now
You gotta dive in, You gotta dive in
Because the only way out it is through
And once you’re there
You won’t wanna leave

I could be dead in a second
If I wanted to be
Everything's so fragile
Oh darling see
Our dead souls
Were meant to be

I don’t ever want to die
I’m just angel that wants to go home
I spend my days sleepless
Always in roam

I felt it grow, I felt it grow `

Oh in the pouring rain, in the pouring rain
Don’t let it drain, don’t let it drain
It needs the strength
To stay alive
So come now
You gotta dive in, You gotta dive in
Because the only way out it is through
And once you’re there
You won’t wanna leave

Life has loved death
Since the beginning
And life took away her breath
But death never gave them back
I understand
It’s not white and black
Not like that

I’d rather be alone
Than be with people
Who make me feel that way
Our minds are sick
But that’s okay
I’m just waiting for the day
When I can see
Someone stare back at me
That I can trust
To let me become
Alive
I just wanna be alive
Alive, alive

I felt it grow, I felt it grow `
Oh in the pouring rain, in the pouring rain
Don’t let it drain, don’t let it drain
It needs the strength
To stay alive
Alive, alive
So come now
You gotta dive in, You gotta dive in
Because the only way out it is through
And once you’re there
You won’t wanna leave
So let it be
And stay alive
