Lyrics[]
There's a change of heart And you're in a race And you don't know where it ends In another world Where you're upside down Trying to make amends Whoa, I don't believe what I see and I hear Whoa, I can't explain what is here but it's here Whoa When the rain comes down When the rain comes down Time to start with a different face I gotta get out of here I'll take my chance in a different place Now my mind is clear Whoa, I don't believe what I see and I hear Whoa, I can't explain what is here but it's here Whoa
