Lyrics

THE DAY THE RAINS CAME WE TRIED TO RUN AWAY

IT FLOODED THE FIELDS AND THE VALLEY WHERE WE ONCE PLAYED

HEADING FOR HIGHER GROUND WE RAN ALL DAY LONG

NO ONE KNEW THE WAY BUT STILL WE KEPT ON GOING





THE RAINS FELL ALL THAT DAY AND HALF OF THE NITE

THE GODS OF THUNDER WERE FIGHTING AN UNGODLY FIGHT

WE WATCHED AS OUR LAND AND HOMES FINALLY DISAPPEARED

WE KEPT ON MOVING HIGHER AND WIPED AWAY THE TEARS





THERE?S AN OCEAN OF DISPAIR OUT THERE

AND WE HAVEN?T SEEN THE BOTTOM


WHEN YOU CLIMB THE HILL OF HOPE AND DREAMS

YOU MUST WONDER WHY YOU GOT THEM


DO THEY WISH FOR ANOTHER DAY?

WHEN THE RAINS HAVE GONE AWAY

WHEN THE RAIN HAS FINALLY GONE AWAY








THE MORNING CAME -- WE COULD FEEL THE WINDS OF CHANGE

A GUST SO HARD IT ALMOST BLEW AWAY OUR PAIN

AS THE SUN SHONE THROUGH THE DARKENED CLOUDS ONCE AGAIN

WE LOOKED ABOVE TO SEE WHAT NEXT THE GODS WOULD SEND





THE SMELL OF FRESH CUT GRASS BEGAN TO FILL THE AIR

THE FLOWERS BLOOMED THAT WE HAD TUCKED NEATLY IN OUR HAIR

THE CLOUDS DISAPPEARED AT LEAST UNTIL TOMORROW

THERE SEEMS TO BE A LIMIT ON THE SUNSHINE YOU CAN BORROW




THERE?S A RIVER OF DISPAIR-- OUT THERE

AND IT?S RUNNING THROUGH US ALL


WHEN YOU CLIMB THE HILL OF HOPE AND DREAMS

WHY DO OTHERS ALWAYS SEEM TO FALL


WOULD THEY WISH FOR ANOTHER DAY?

WHEN THE RAINS HAVE GONE AWAY?..

WHEN THE RAINS HAVE FINALLY GONE AWAY
