THE RAIN HAS COME.mp3

by The N.O.I.S.E. [musically translated by Joe K****]

THE RAIN HAS COME

v1

We used to have a second heartbeat to help us live

And what we gave in return wasn't too much to give

But now those storm clouds have darkened our day

And a little part of each of us is being washed away

Chorus

The Rain has Come, Before the Storm

Can we keep Dry? Can we keep Warm?

v2

So many people and so many stories

Each one of them as important as the last

Indecision seems to come along with those changes

And we get that feeling that our better days are in the past

Chorus

The Rain has Come, Bringing on the Storm

Will we keep Dry? Will we keep Warm?

Bridge

The 'Roadhouse by the Crossroads', that's what our Shelter has become

A Devil that watches laughing, while we're dancing to a Heartless Drum

What will I do, Where will I go?

We need an answer ......... [I Don't Know]

v3

We used to be so proud of our hopes and dreams

But the storm has forced us out to climb to higher ground, or so it seems

Even though we've always tried so hard to give our very best

All this rain is only makin' us all feel just like some 'unwanted guest'

Feel the Rain, it Just Keeps Falling, the Rain Keeps Coming!

The Rain has Come, it Just Gets Stronger!

Joe has done the entire community proud. This is a project that was long overdue and I bless him and Carol for taking it on. Joe, you deserve a standing ovation, and were we all together, you would get one. Maybe that should be our next project?

Oh my goodness....

a bit overwhelmed right now.

Balzenawe, I have been SO BUSY trying to figure out how to get this song out to EVERYONE, I have not even extended my TOTAL CONGRATULATIONS and heartfelt approval of this outstanding effort!!!!

(CAROL??????? Please fill me in---who is Carol?)

---Fair3 -----HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT?!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!! Can we implement that ability to broadcast balzenawe's song here at Fair shake?!!!!!!! WOW! WAY COOL!!!!! INVESTIGATE, and tell me HOW, please!!!!

I have to take this moment to boast a bit. I am SO HONORED to be associated with such amazing talent. Balzenawe, I have played your song for my husband---quite possibly a musical SNOB--lol--and he sees great potential for this song, after listening ONCE. I think most of us know that songs "grow on you", and this one has the potential to GROW and GROW and GROW!!!!!!

I cannot express my appreciation, admiration, and Thanks, enough.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! We have a Rally Cry!!!! Now HOW do we get this into the MAINSTREAM??????!!!!!!

Any ideas? Post them HERE!!!! What can we do to publicize this? How can we get RADIO STATIONS to play it? Balzenawe, do you have any suggestions? Can we contact our local radio stations? Where can we link to? Do you have a myspace page you could put this on---or could we CREATE one????? Let's get this OUT THERE!!!!! HUGE vehicle to get the word to the general public about our mission!!!!

Three cheers for Balzenawe for such a SIGNIFICANT contribution to this effort!!!!! LOVE YOU, BALZENAWE!!! THANK YOU!!!
