She feels the raindrops on her face
And how her heart begins to race
She sees the water flood and bloom
As the rain keeps falling
Though sun and dust delay her dream,
The earth is parched, there's no soothing stream,
She's certain that the rain will bring her hope again
It's gonna rain today
It's gonna rain today
She asks for nothing, she's too proud
Scans the sky for signs of cloud
Beggin' them to come and burst
And quench this raging thirst
She sees the children lost in play
But hides her troubled look from them,
She knows they day
When they have come to work this land,
They will understand
It's gonna rain today
It's gonna rain today [x2]
It's gonna rain and life will blossom again
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain today
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain and life will blossom again
