[Verse] Innocence and purity Floating in the air we breathe And words we never speak Seconds tick into the past Nothing here was meant to last And fades till we cannot see Remember magic formulas Pages torn that warn you of The forest hiding in the trees Memories of highway ships Lightning in our fingertips And dreams that we once breathed [Chorus] I complain about the rain The pain and the way things ought to be Will simple men be supermen Forging someone's history Well thankfully it looks to be I can walk a higher road To a plain old someday when I I'll be coming home [Verse] Show me where your strength is from Somewhere deep within among All your ancient dreams Sticking with that final myth Believing what they once dismissed As threads of time-worn seams [Chorus] I complain about the rain The pain and the way things ought to be Will simple men be supermen Forging someone's history thankfully it looks to be I can walk a higher road To a plain old someday when I I'll be coming home [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse] Floating in the air we breathe Particles of what's agreed And what will ease our soul Falling from the shining tip Of sharpened swords we fail to grip When victory was our goal [Chorus] Well, I complain about the rain The pain and the way things ought to be Will simple men be supermen Forging someone's history thankfully it looks to be I can walk a higher road To a plain old someday when I I'll be coming home
