Rivers will rise from the earth to the sky when it rains (rains)
Levees will break, overflowing the lakes when it rains
And swallow the valley and rise through the hills into (space)
Yeah, it consumes my body on my sacrifice, it's my fate
And as quick as you showed up you faded away
You stole my heart in my sunniest days
My shelter gone, now I wait for the storm
I stand alone and I pray
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away, 'way, 'way
Even when the rain falls with the tears on my face
Nobody will see the pain
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away, 'way, 'way
I let it all go as it swallows me whole
I gave you all my sunny days
I pray for the rain
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, I pray for the rain
I stand on the ledge and I got nothing left
To my name
And you kiss my tears for a million years
And it stains
And as quick as you showed up you faded away
You stole my heart in my sunniest days
My shelter gone, now I wait for the storm
I stand alone and I pray
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away, 'way, 'way
Even when the rain falls with the tears on my face
Nobody will see the pain
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away, 'way, 'way
I let it all go as it swallows me whole
I gave you all my sunny days
I pray for the rain
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, I pray for the rain
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, I pray for the rain
