We know it's gonna rain, it's gotta break some time Though we wake up every morning to another cloudless sky In our dreams our thunder rolls and the creeks are full again We know it's only dreaming but we believe it's gonna rain I was brought up in the country, took for granted all my life I would one day be a farmer not another farmer's wife My mother worked the land before me, standing at my father's side And together they raised cattle 'til the day my mother died I was sent to school in Brisbane worked the farm in holidays And I talked the grazier's language and I knew the farmers ways In those years in harvests plentiful we never could have guessed That in just one generation we could lose it all in dust And we know it's gonna rain, it's gotta break some time Though we wake up every morning to another cloudless sky In our dreams the thunder rolls and the creeks are full again We know it's only dreaming but we believe it's gonna rain Well, he walks into the homestead in his dusty old blue jeans There are tears in his eye that he doesn't want seen Oh, you just cannot imagine on your quarter acre block What it's like to take a rifle down and shoot your starving stock Well, you people in the cities see it all on the TV You send money to the telethons, we feel like refugees But we can't survive without you, it's a blow to farmers pride I suppose we have to see it like fighting side by side And we know it's gonna rain, it's gotta break some time Though we wake up every morning to another cloudless sky In our dreams our thunder rolls and the creeks are full again We know it's only dreaming but we believe it's gonna rain We believe it's gonna rain ♪ There's no use in getting angry, we're just shaking fists at God We could blame it all on Canberra but they're giving what they've got Everything we are is buried in this land beneath our feet So we take another breath and turn our backs on cold defeat 'Cause we know it's gonna rain, it's gotta break some time Though we wake up every morning to another cloudless sky In our dreams our thunder rolls and the creeks are full again We know it's only dreaming but we believe it's gonna rain It's gotta break some time Though we wake up every morning to another cloudless sky In our dreams the thunder rolls and the creeks are full again We know it's only dreaming but we believe it's gonna rain We believe it's gonna rain
