Tear Before the Rain - Jordan Rudess

There in the afterglow

My solo world in view

A glimpse beyond the world I know

An open door that I walk through?

And falling from the sky

A tear before the rain

But it will pass me by —

Holding back again…

A man possessed wings to fly

Beyond this space and time

The rhythm of this heart of mine

Is beating like a battle cry

And if I let it go

Will strength provide relief

From fearful winds that blow —

Only disbelief

Tears falling

I’m calling

Out into the air

My sun is rising where I stand — (I know)

One day I wake up

And suddenly I’m found

High flying man has been unbound (and so)

The hourglass is winding down

As all becomes so clear

Now tears that fall are all around

And rainbows in the sky appear

Tears falling

I’m calling

Out into the air

My sun is rising where I stand — (I know)

One day I wake up

And suddenly I’m found

High flying man has been unbound (and so)

And here I am once more

I’m standing in the light

Much stronger than before

A tear before the rain one tear before the rain
