lyrics

Rainy days
I like to spend them in my bedroom locked away
With my guitar a cup of tea and a book for me to read
That’s all I need
That’s where I’ll stay
I rent a room in my own head, don’t have to pay
And not a soul can bother me, I’m too high up in my tree
Don’t want to leave

But up ahead I see a storm
I know deep down I need to change my course
I won’t sleep until I know what this all means
What I was put here for
I’m searching for the reason I was born

I’ve been afraid
To look myself right in the eyes and not turn away
Because it’s hard to finally see you’re not the man you want to be
But I believe
That I can change
It’s not too late, I’ll summon all my will and strength
For the possibility to live a life that’s really free
That’s what I need

But up ahead I see a war
Where neither side knows what they’re fighting for
Because they watched TV and were misinformed
They didn’t read the histories that warn
They won’t weep, they won’t mourn
Until the fabric of their lives is torn
So I won’t sleep until I know
What this all means, what I was put here for
I’m searching for the reason I was born
