Lyrics
This problem is insoluble.
the answers seem impossible.
the logic ceases to exist.
emotion is the beat we miss
I stand on a world where dreams.
realities, existence are the same.
we take from the mother's skin.
but the world is not to blame
Who tells the wind which way to blow,
I wonder who will stop the rain.
the rocks that hold the secrets,
they don't know.
so who can stop the rain.
we've lost the path for all we know.
now tell me when will it start again.
and as the old man lifts his hands.
please can you stop the rain
Stars fall far away.
like they never did before.
a new moon shining.
like it never will again
Who tells the wind which way to blow,
I wonder who will stop the rain,
the rocks that hold the secrets,
they don't know,
so, who can stop the rain
Desert white cloud.
spirits they sing.
rain falls from the big sky.
onto broken wing
There is no sense in turning back
to wash the debris from the track.
world without fears without rhyme.
we fought for peace within our time.
who tells the wind which way to blow,
I wonder who will stop the rain.
we've lost the path for all we know.
please can you stop the rain
