Days Like These

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
 Its years like these
 That makes 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
 Nothing comes for free
 On days like these
 But you can't reap what you don't sow
 And you can't plant in fallow ground
 So let us fill this empty earth with hope
 Until 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
 With days like these
 I can make my peace
 With days like these
