Born in a dry season

Wind and sand have blown through me

Haven't found shade anywhere

Only moments of relief

But sometimes I think I hear the thunder

Somewhere on the horizon line

If i could just find a way to get under

The rain that can reach this soul of mine



(chorus)

I pray for rain to come

And wash away what's made me numb

I pray for a ragging storm

To drown what's in me

And the rain comes in the nick of time

I swallow hard cause my throat's been dry

The rain comes beating on my skin

Till I'm washed away - nothing left within

When the rain comes

Your rain comes



Seasons have passed so quickly

Since I felt that first big storm

Still there have been times of drought

When i've prayed for the clouds to form

And I often hear the thunder

And I know of its coming rain

Many times in my life I'll kneel under

The moving showers that brought this change



(chorus 2x)
