When the Rain Shall Come

When the rain shall come When the new day shall be You and I will rejoice For the rain will wash away The painful seasons of tyranny For the new day shall bring A dawn of a new hope The hope to continue living Long days of waiting for rain Have never been easy at all But when the rain shall come The drought shall run to hide As a gush of rain water Quenches the dilapidated dusty ground And you and I shall Drink the water of the rain As we curse the dying dust Of the dead drought, When the rain shall come
