[Verse 1]
Born into a stranger's world
Learn the language word by word
Take a step and then you turn
And you don't explain

[Verse 2]
Mama holds her arms out too long
Daddy makes his arms look strong
Take another step and then you're gone
And you don't explain

[Chorus]
And when the rain comes down
Feel like a waste of time
Fall into those open arms
Don't explain

[Verse 3]
And the river runs along the road
That's the story you get told
And they tore the mountain down for gold
And they don't explain

[Verse 4]
Teacher learned the truth from books
The preacher did all that he could
Reaching for you but it does no good
And you don't explain
[Chorus]
And when the rain comes down
Feel like a waste of time
Fall into those open arms
Don't explain

[Verse 5]
And it's all a patchwork from above
All that you've been dreaming of
When you land you kiss your love
And you don't explain

[Verse 6]
Lover holds you when others go
Covers you with another soul
Stands behind you when you stand alone
And you don't explain

[Chorus]
And when the rain comes down
Feel like a waste of time
Fall into those open arms
Don't explain
And when the rain comes down
Feel like a waste of time
Fall into those open arms
Don't explain
[Verse 1]
And you're born into a stranger's world
Learn the language word by word
Take a step and then you turn
And you don't explain
