Howard Jones – DON’T ALWAYS LOOK AT THE RAIN

Some people I know have given up on their lives

Drowning their sorrows, and mumblin’, and forgot the fight

We can tip the balance we can break those barriers down

Little things count as much as the big and turn it all around

And it’s oh, don’t always look at the rain

No, don’t look at the rain

Some people I know have lost their feel for mystery

They say everything has got to be proved, this isn’t a nursery

And Joseph who’s five years old, stops fights in his playground yard

No more fights and bigotry, oh is it so hard

And it’s oh, don’t always look at the rain

No, don’t always look at the rain

Ha, don’t always look at the rain

And tell me, is it a crime to have an ideal or two

Evolving takes it’s time, we can’t do it all in one go

Doesn’t have to drive us all mad, we can only do our best

Let the mind shut up, and the heart do the rest
