Heard the choir all gather and sing
Boys let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
I felt the earth, and the mud, and the clay
Oh, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Saw the lord when I had a dream
Hope it never rains never, rains, never rains
Saw the fire in the tops of the trees
Hope it never rains, never rains, never rains
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
Let this fire take this whole town away
Hope it never rains, never rains, never rains
When we raise up our hands all to pray
Oh, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Oh, will you take this fire away
Boys let it rain, let it rain
I was old enough to know what to say
Hope it never rains, never rains, never rains
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
And oh, we'll fight again
We set the spark, start the light
And oh, we'll fight again
We are the sparks, start the light
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
It's a long way home
A long way home
For a boy who's gone and lost his way
Oh, the darker clouds
Are markin' a darker day
