lyrics

We live our lives in the eye of the storm
Until the day that we die, from the minute that we're born
And we don't know why, no matter how we try
A flash of lightning, and the thunder cracks and rolls
We scream into the dark and blindly we hope
That someone hears our cry, tearing through the sky

We ride the wind for just a moment
Forked tongues of fire to make our marks
And though the storm will soon be over
Our bursts of light defy the dark

All our days lost on the wind
Like Desert Rain
Until the lightning strikes again
In desert rain
Our voices grow into a storm
We carve your name upon the stones
And when the night sky calls us home
We'll meet again

Scrawled across the sky, we write your legacy
In star light burning bright for all the world to see
It goes on and on, when I hear your song
We hold eternity in a single grain of sand
And try to shape our destiny as it drifts through our hands
And though it slips away, we hold on and we pray

The rain you prayed for, so many nights
You called its name and danced beneath the dying light
So lift your hands up to the sky
Don't let the thunder pass you by

Borne on howling winds we rage
Like desert rain
To write our names upon the page
In desert rain
We flicker brighter than the day
That makes it worth the price we pay
We leave our mark though we can't stay
Upon the stage

Destined to lose all that we win
And all we begin is sure to end
But I'll keep listening to the wind
Until I hear your voice again

We fall like tears but not in vain
Like desert rain
The heavens tremble at our name
In desert rain
Our steps like thunder shake the earth
To make our death, to mark our birth
To show them all that it's still worth
All of the pain
