  • When I was wandering in the desert
    And was searching for the truth
    I heard a choir of angels calling out my name
    I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again
    I turned my face towards the barren sun

    And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me
    And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
    And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground
    They are sealed and are now washed away

    You tell me we can start the rain
    You tell me that we all can change
    You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
    You tell me we can start the rain
    You tell me that we all can change
    You tell me we can find something to wash the tears

    And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me
    And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
    And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives
    That are sealed and are now far away

    You tell me we can start the rain
    You tell me that we all can change
    You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
    You tell me we can start the rain
    You tell me that we all can change
    You tell me we can find something to wash the tears

    You tell me we can start the rain
    You tell me that we all can change
    You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
    You tell me we can start the rain
    You tell me that we all can change
    You tell me we can find something to wash the tears

    And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me
    And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
    And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives
    They are sealed and are now far away Writer/s: Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray, Stephen Percy Harris
