lyrics

The Other Side of the Rain

Somewhere high on this ground lies a fortunate man
He left this world looking down lifted up to the Promised Land

He didn’t cry to the wind he had no reasons for shame
His story told now begins on the other side of the rain

When the clouds roll away and the sun come shining again
On this road he will come to know the other side of the rain

Old woman waits for her time her family restless and gone
Alone her spirit will climb above the cares of the dawn

She doesn’t long for her youth to carry child again
Her dying flower will bloom in truth on the other side of the rain

When the clouds roll away and the sun come shining again
On this road she will come to know the other side of the rain

In this guise all of us look to remain
As we rise over the wind and the rain

Every day has its fight every night has its pain
In every heart is the light that shines to the other side of the rain

When the clouds roll away and the sun come shining again
On this road we will come to know the other side of the rain
