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
