lyrics

Rain
Words & Music by Joanna Chapman-Smith

Chorus: It’s time for it to rain
It’s time for it to rain

Verse 1: Well, no one’s meant to smile
All of the time
No one’s meant to fool themselves that
Thing’s are just fine
Well, I’ve been thinkin’
A lot about the rain
‘Cause sunny is a beauty
But too much is a pain

Chorus: It’s time for it to rain
It’s time for it to rain

Verse 2: Well, the rain might make today
A little less bright
It may well make us stay
Inside for tonight
But with time to sit
And that beautiful sound
Knockin’ on our windows
We can let our worries all slide away
Don’t delay

Chorus: It’s time for it to rain
It’s time for it to rain

Bridge: Underneath the skin
We carry an ocean
Don’t let yourself drown
When there’s a tide to share
So let it rise up
And let it rise out
And let it pour down
Give it out; give it air
‘Cause there’s a current out there . . .

Verse 3: The river runs between us
The tides they pull
No Mercury of Venus
Can harness our souls
A people is a phoenix
It can’t be controlled
But the fire doesn’t clean us
So we still need the rain

Chorus: It’s time for it to rain
It’s time for it to rain
