Take the rain from my heart,
take the tears from my eyes,
take the dream from my soul,
For I am feeling alone.
Let the wind touch my face,
let the days slowly go,
let the good times slowly die,
For I am feeling so scared.
Make the sun shine again,
make the love dawn within,
make the spirit start to dance,
For I am feeling empty.
See the smile on my face,
see the laughter in my eyes,
see the joy within my heart,
For I am here to win.
