Lyrics

Sometimes we pray for rain and it doesn't come
The land is parched and waiting for the water, bringing air to its lungs
Sometimes we want to be alone but don't have a chance
Crowds all day, no peace at home
Oh to find a quiet spot on a crooked tree branch
Sometimes we feel that there's is no hope
And the days to come seem dark
The air is thick and choking
The fire has found it's spark

But when the rain comes down
With a sweet and luscious sound
The land it seems to be thankful
The land it seems to be grateful
Things are growing all around

One day we get a chance
To be alone at last
A deep exhale, a moments peace
Reflections on the past

The new day looks now bright
Like spotting a lighthouse in the night
A cool breeze comes off the lakeshore
Brings fresh air and summer rain

But you can get too much of what you wish for
It doesn't take too long to fall
What you prayed and hoped for, when it comes
Can overwhelm it all

What if the rain you want keeps coming
Or the solitude doesn't cease
Or your optimism overshadows truth
And you're living in a dream

We always want what we don't have
And it can distort the view
Of what is good and righteous
In each day that starts anew

The rain comes when it may
Your solitude comes too
Hope will have its moments
Things come in waves it's true

Rain comes when it may
Your solitude comes too
Hope will have its moments
Things come in waves it's true
