When I rise a new day I look and I see Just how much of my life The wind has taken from me When will the rain come? When will the rain come? One lonely flower is all that's here No one else will shed a tear For when it dies, we'll all be gone To join the dust that drifts on by When will the rain come? When will the rain come? Now that I have more time Much more than I could need No past No present No future One mouth, one child to feed When will the rain come? When will the rain come? The wind is blowing my life away The clouds of dust drift on by A land that once was good to me Is gone and now it's dry When will the rain come? When will the rain come? When will the rain come?
