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 she'd 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
