Four weeks into August In a south suburban home The rain was coming down Little did we know 50 inches on the way I saw the water rise Sat there on that front porch As we held our loved ones tight All you can ask for is to see a new sun rise Breathe another breath, sleep another night Faith in what's to come that you'll make it through today Waiting for the sun after the rain Crept up to the doorstep We went for higher ground Hopin' for a savior They were nowhere to be found Waited for the worst Hopin' someone would arrive Clung there on that rooftop Prayin' for our lives All you can ask for is to see a new sun rise Breathe another breath, sleep another night Faith in what's to come that you'll make it through today Waiting for the sun after the rain The raging tide subsided The street signs reappeared I watched the city come alive The clouds began to clear All you can ask for is to see a new sun rise Breathe another breath, sleep another night Faith in what's to come that you'll make it through today Waiting for the sun after the rain Waiting for the sun after the rain
