ready for the rain

early in the morning

before the daylight

i hear the sound of thunder

comin' through in the night

i lie awake and i wonder

where my life is goin'

am i on a road leadin' nowhere

there's no way of knowin'

'cause i've seen the lightning

and i'm ready for the rain to fall

now i'm standin' on a mountain

lookin' into the sky

i see the clouds come rollin' in

water fills my eyes

i don't know what's in the future

no one can say

don't wanna think about the past

i've gotta live for today

'cause i've seen the lightnin' now

i need to find my own way

while i've still got time

and i'm ready for the rain to fall

'cause i've heard the thunder

and i'm ready for the rain to fall

i'm ready

ready for the rain

i've got to rise above it all

and get ready for the rain to fall

did you ever know someone

who had lost their way

built their own little kingdom

and just blew it all away

i'm not ashamed to admit it

that someone was me

i'm gonna look to the future now

'cause i've set myself free

and i've seen the lightnin'

i'm gonna set myself free

while i've still got time

get ready for the rain to fall

'cause i've heard the thunder

and i'm ready for the rain to fall

i'm ready

ready for the rain

i've got to rise above it all

and get ready for the rain to fall

while i've still got time.
