| (TRANNS is in her bedroom, in the Rose Garden, dressing. Her face is illuminated by the fire of Zora Harbor.) TRANNS Shed no tears for me There'll be rain enough today I'm wishing you good luck as I wave you on your way This won't be the first time I've stayed to face The bitter consequences of ancient fall from grace I'm a daughter of the race of pain I am not stranger to the rain Orphan in the storm, that's a role I've played before I've learned not to tremble when I hear the thunder roar. I don't curse what I can't change, I just play the hand I'm dealt, And when they lighten up the rations, I tighten up my belt. I won't say I've never felt the pain, I am not a stranger to the rain. And for the boy who's given me the sweetest love I know I wish for you another love so you won't be alone Because I am bound to walk among the wounded and the slain And when the storm comes crashing on the plain I will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane Oh, shed no tears Light no candle for my sake This journey I'll making now Is one we all must take Shoulder to the wind I'll turn my face into the spray And when the heavens open Let the drops fall where they may May they finally wash away the stain Of a daughter of the race of pain I am not a stranger to the rain Let it rain! |
