Lyrics
In the gentle Colorado air
Tragedy poured out from the knight
Fear seen through the tears of those spared
Leaving us wounded again, wondering why
(chorus)
I know its got to rain sometimes
Why'd it have to rain so hard
Make it stop, we've seen enough for awhile
Oh God, why did it rain so hard
Oh oh oh
What about dying makes a man take
More pain than life can afford
We only have two hands to pray
Why send angels dreams when they....don't need anymore
(repeat chorus)
Whoa oh oh
Why did it have to rain so hard
How many scars do we think we need
Injuries aren't just the ones we see
How many lifetimes cut down like weeds
If this is what freedom costs, are we really free
(repeat chorus)
Oh God why did it rain so hard
(outro)
In the gentle Colorado air
Tragedy poured out from the knight
