Listen To The Rain

Listen listen

Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen listen

listen to each drop of rain
whispering secrets in vain
frantically searching for someone to hear
their story before they hit ground
please dont let go, can't we stay for awhile
its just so hard to say goodbye...
listen to the rain
listen to the rain weeping...

Aa...ah
Listen listen listen listen listen listen to the rain
Weeping
Oo...ooh oooh ooh oo...ooh
Oo...ooh oooh oh oh

Listen (listen) listen (listen)
Listen (listen) listen

i stand alone in the storm
suddenly sweet words take form
hurry, they say, for you havent much time
open your eyes to the love around you
you may feel you're alone
but Im here still with you
you can do what you dream
just remember to listen to the rain

oo...ooh oh oh oh oh
ooh ooh oh oh oooh
Listen

I believe in the line 'Whispering secrets in rain' they actually sing 'Whispering secrets in vain'.

Yeah they probably do actually... the message in the song is great. I love how Ev can put things so brilliantly.
Well the way I interpret the song is: to appreciate and enjoy the small things in life - take nothing for granted. That's what I think it's about.

I'm pretty sure the line 'That story be more than it hides' is actually 'Their story before they hit ground'.

Due to the fact the song is performed by a choir and people can end up slightly out of sync when ending words and phrases, you're likely to end up with many different versions of the lyrics.

Though I'm pretty sure the above lyrics are the right ones...

yea, i didn't think "their story be more than it hides" made much sense to me, i always heart "before they hit ground" also. i was suprised to see that somebody else did too! anyway, i really love this song. i actually just tought my own arrangement of it to my high school audition choir. turned out amazing!

This song makes my insides melt and my heart pound. It truly does! I heard it for the first time last night and I was jumping up and down. It is hard to express how beautiful and precious it is. I can't believe how good her high school choir were! I mean, I'm not exaggerating when I say there were some seriously good singers at my old school - one just won Stars In Their Eyes Kids! - but as a choir, we sucked.
Amy must have been a great president.

I agree... I love when they sing.... I stand alone in the storm..Suddenly sweet words take hold... Love it... I always thought it was sung.. I stand alone in the "Dark"... Suddnely sweet words "They Come".. Must have been wrong...

Amy always creates an outstanding choral arrangement for any song she puts together. This one is just as amazing! She puts in a lot of crescendos at the perfect moments in the piece making it very detailed.

Hey dose anyone know if she sang in it or played the piano? Cause at the time Ben play piano too.
