On days like these
When the rain won't fall
And the sky is so dry
That even birds can't call
I can feel your tears
Disappearing in the air
Carried on the breeze
On days like these
It's years like these
That make a young man old
Bend his back against the promises
That life should hold
They can make him wise
They can drive him to his knees
An' nothin' comes for free
On days like these
But you can't reap what you don't sow
And you can't plant in hallow ground
So let us fill this empty earth with hope
'Til the rains come down
In lives like these
Where every moment counts
I add up all the things
That I can live without
When the one thing left
Is the blessing of my dreams
I can make my peace
Yes, I can make my peace
I can make my peace
With days like these
