What is that we want the most
To fill up our empty lives
And ease the loneliness inside
As we struggle to survive
A single touch so we still feel
There is a purpose to it all
There is more to this than life and death
Even on our knees we have to crawl
It's all these feelings
Like the rain upon my face
It's all these feelings
That hold you in their warm embrace
It's all these feelings
Like all those goals we have to chase
To get on through
And still those feelings
That keep welling up inside
And send you reeling
Like worlds that will collide
Those special feelings
That you can no longer hide
Will see you through...
How do we reach out and hold onto our dreams
And still believe we have the chance
When everything around us falls in a heap
Will we still find that special romance
Will these teardrops that fall like rain
Turn my world around so I can love again
Find that special one to ease away the pain
And let these feelings make me feel the same
It's all these feelings
Like the rain upon my face
It's all these feelings
That hold you in their warm embrace
It's all these feelings
Like all those goals we have to chase
To get on through
And still those feelings
That keep welling up inside
And send you reeling
Like worlds that will collide
Those special feelings
That you can no longer hide
Will see you through...

Will these teardrops that fall like rain
Turn my world around so I can love again
i like those two lines the most out of all of it. It's definitely showing faith, but at the same time discouragement. Awesome job, defnitely uplifting :-D

Very lyrical. I think it would have read more smoothly if I knew the melody. I hope you do well with it.
