Have you ever
had a day that you wanted to erase?
Tear the page out the history
books and try again
But you knew that you couldn't
so you put on a brave face
And waited till you could make
your escape
And when you finally got away
From the people and the gossip and
the judgement in their gaze
You let your guard down
and something just gave
All of a sudden,
tears falling till they running down your face
Whatever it was,
you fought with your friend
Or your boss, or maybe you got
a heart that won't mend
Or you struggling with the rent,
or missing something you lost
Or maybe you're just tired of pretending
You feel the weight like
a pain in your chest
Till you strain and you ache and
you break and you sob
And it's grey till it stops, till it fades
Till it's gone like the tears
sorta washed it all away
Sometimes I like to think it's the same
with drops of rain
That each one's just a tear
falling off of God's face
Sitting all alone in the clouds
looking down on us all
Watching every mistake
that was ever made
Every bit of pain, every murder,
every rape
Every person who's having a shitty day
Tak ing it all in till he
breaks down and cries
Till his eyes dry up and he gets
on with it again
And I had this very faith tested
on an ordinary day
I was walking down a busy
street around my way
I saw a face in the crowd
that made my heart skip a beat
A man who looked exactly like
an older version of me
So I moved through the hustle and
the bustle of the day to day
Un til me and this man stood
face to face
We locked eyes and for a moment
time moved in slow motion
As the crowd around continued
on their paper chase
I stood frozen in disbelief and
opened my mouth to speak
But to my surprise the words
wouldn't come
And then he looks into a clear
blue sky up above
And say "it's gonna rain",
and then it does
And as the rain came down
like missiles from the sky
Set on a collision course from
the heavens to the ground
He's just standing in
the middle of it all
Unconcerned by the panic and
the people running round
So I stepped to this man with
my hand outstretched
Just to offer him some help
to get the storm up off his head
He took my hand down and
we stood getting drenched
He looked me in the eyes with a smile,
this is what he said
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
So play this song on the days
when the rain keeps on
And you wait and you pray it'll stop
And if you stuck in a storm,
then spare a second for the thought
That we all at the mercy of the gods
So instead of looking for somewhere
to place the blame
Accept it as a part of that big lazy eight
Go outside and stand under the clouds
And em brace it as the rain keeps
plummeting down
And say: Hush child,
from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
Hush child, from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
From the million dollar brands
to the tags on the train
It'll all wash away in the rain
From the birth to the dirt man,
the cradle to the grave
It'll all wash away in the rain
What's been and gone
will come again
It'll all wash away in the rain
So hush child,
from the joy to the pain
It'll all wash away in the rain
