As if you have a choice.

Even if you cannot hear my voice,

I'll be right beside you, dear."

Black bird in the sky

Sending a signal that I'm here

Some sign of life

I'm sending a message

Of feathers and bone

Just let me know I'm not forgotten out here alone."

I am burning brighter,

Roaring like a storm

And I am the one I've been waiting for.

Screaming like a siren,

Alive and burning brighter,

I am the fire.

The falling rain pierces you like a knife.

You make me smile, though I thought I was the clown who never learned.

No, it was never my intent to cause you any pain,

You know...but even so,

Sing in the rain.

We people are beings made of misery.

Oh smile for me, as you carry on dancing, dripping wet.

Keep singing to me that you know someday the world will shine.

Keep singing,

Sing your song."

And in the lonesome of the night I drink, to all the loves I've lost.

Oh, the days I let slip away.

I was fierce and wild in love when I was young.

And the whole wide world's comin' after you.

I've got blood

I've got blood

Blood on my name."

Keep your head above the clouds.

I'm right with you, I will lift you,

Just hold on.

Don't give up now, there's already so much at stake.

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up.

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know,

If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough."
