When the clouds begin to form
And the rain begins to fall
Listen closely, you may just feel it's call
That is why when the floods begin to pour
Or tears begins to drop
You won't find find me in a dry, dreary, shop
Listen closely, you may just hear it's plead
If you can hear it, please answer the need
When the water comes down by the liter
I don't take cover in a movie theater
Oh no, when the rain begins to fall
I'll go out
Dance, Jump, and Scream about
I'll swirl and twirl all around
So fast, i just can't possibly frown
You may think its strange,
The way I love the rain
But you see, that's how the rain is to me
It's a time to change,
And a time to be free
Before the rain comes,
It's to hot for the flowers to shine
To humid for the birds to tweet a lullby
To dry for the bees to collect their sweet pollen
To perfect for the mosquitos not to feast
On the fresh, sweaty meat
Just when it seems
That this blistering heat will never fade
Rain comes rushing to your aid
It drowns out the sorrows of yesterday
But look around, what do you see?
Because all around me,
The flowers are shining
The birds are lullabying
And the mosquitoes - thank god- are running
So i'm sorry if when the rain comes
I can't help but jump and yell
'Hip Hip Hooray'
Because when the rain comes
To me its a promise of a brand new day
