Tell me how it feels when the rain comes
Does it wash away...
All the things you took so long to put in place so rigidly?
What have you really built it on
That you're afraid that it would fall away
Like regimes resting on the sand?
But they're forming those clouds
That make you look at the sky with a shroud
Of fear
And the thunder's so loud
See the flash of lighting
Bolts hit the ground in the air so dry
Water is now amassing heavy
Dancers are dancing proud
We need the rain to give us life again but...
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
We've been dancing for the rain for so long
Our feet are dried in blood
Blood of toil for change to the drought in our expression
But we come from love so we wear it proud
Like soles cast in strength
Just as ions that graze the air
Positive negative charges flare
Storms roll into the land so bare
Promising... showers of blessing
But the ones who have fought to give us shelter
Are blind to see the pain
We need the rain to give us life again but
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
They can't stand the rain
