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.
