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)
