PRAY FOR RAIN

from the album, pray for rain, 1992

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 thunder
Somewhere on the horizon line
If I could just find a way to
get under
The rain that could reach this
soul of mine

I pray for rain to come and
wash away
What has made me numb
I pray for a raging storm to drown
the sin 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
Til I'm washed away nothing
left within
When Your 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
I often hear thunder and know of
its coming rain
Many times in my life I'll
kneel under
The moving showers that brought
this change

I pray for rain to come and
wash away
What has made me numb
I pray for a raging storm to drown
the sin 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
Til I'm washed away nothing
left within
When Your rain comes
Your rain comes

I pray for rain to come...
