Utopia Lyrics by Within Temptation

An Acoustic Night at the Theatre

2009

[Verse 1: Sharon den Abel & Chris Jones]
The burning desire to live and roam free
It shines in the dark and it grows within me
You're holding my hand but you don't understand
So where I'm going you won't be in the end
I'm dreaming in colors of getting the chance
Dreaming of China, the perfect romance
In search of the door to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
[Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Abel & Chris Jones]
Help us, we're drowning
So closed up inside
[Chorus: Sharon den Abel & Chris Jones]
Why does it rain, rain, rain
Down on Utopia?
Why does it have to kill
The ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain
Down on Utopia?
How will the lights die down
Telling us who we are?
[Verse 2: Sharon den Abel, Chris Jones, Both]
I'm searching for answers not given for free
You're hurting inside, is there life within me?
You're holding my hand but you don't understand
You're taking the road all alone in the end
I'm dreaming in colors, no boundaries are there
I'm dreaming the dream we all seen to share
In search of the door to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
[Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Abel & Chris Jones]
Help us, we're drowning
So closed up inside
[Chorus: Sharon den Abel & Chris Jones]
Why does it rain, rain, rain
Down on Utopia?
Why does it have to kill
The ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain
Down on Utopia?
How will the lights die down
Telling us who we are?
[Bridge: Sharon den Abel]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Chorus: Sharon den Abel & Chris Jones]
Why does it rain, rain, rain
Down on Utopia?
Why does it have to kill
The ideal of who we are?
Oh, why does it rain, rain, rain
Down on Utopia?
How will the lights die down
Telling us who we are?
[Outro: Sharon den Abel & Chris Jones]
Why does it rain?
