Lightning arcs out across the sky
Like so many trembling fingers
It strikes in a flash then vanishes
But still something awful still lingers
Sometimes it rains
Sometimes it's a drought
Sometimes it's in-between
The badlands and the wash out
Sometimes it rains
Sometimes it rains
Blood-thirsty soldiers loot a town
Leaving graveyards in their wake
And the refugees stream like a river of heat
These casualties that even God won't forsake
Sometimes the rain can rinse us clean
Sometimes the rain can wash our sins away
Sometimes the rain can give us life
And sometimes the rain only brings decay
There are times when your glass is empty
And you need something to fill it up
The sky darkens and rain starts to pour down
And it runneth over your crummy little cup
Here comes the rain
Gonna wash us down the drain
Here comes the rain
You don't need a weather vane
