bring the rain

is this the end or the calm before the storm?, is this the wind we used to fly on?, it spins the dust where once it whistled through the corn, the barren ground as hard as iron, but i can sense a change is coming, a sudden stillness in the air, i can see the back clouds brewing, dark descending everywhere, so bring the rain, flood the skies, 'til the earth, is fit to burst, springing into life, there's a place where a desert orchid grows, divines the water from the fire, a proud reminder of a never ending hope, a symbol of the heart's desire, and i can hear a church bell ringing, somewhere in a far off town, somewhere there's a songbird singing, all that's gone must come around, so bring the rain, flood the skies, 'til the earth, is fit to burst, springing into life, thunderclouds, fill the skies, 'til the earth, is fit to burst, springing into life, spring, spring, spring, it's springing, spring, spring, a new beginning, teeming in the rolling rivers, rivers running rife, spring, spring, spring, it's springing, spring, spring, a new beginning, 'til the earth, is fit to burst, and springing into life
