SOAK UP THE RAIN


I’m like a flower that needs a little rain
To quench my thirst but I search for it in vain
My leaves are getting dry, been holdin’ out so long
I’m feelin’ very weak, my color it’s all gone


Cause I am just like a flower that needs a little rain
The well is dry and I am feelin’ the pain
I only want to be what I was meant to be
A pretty flower, I guess I need…need to


Soak up the rain to be myself again
Live as I was meant to be now until the end…need to
Soak up the rain to be myself again
Come and take a drink with me and a meadow of pretty flowers we will be


I’ll only take what I need
The rest for you I’ll leave
I’m so thirsty and I need a little rain


High and dry on the windswept plain don’t leave me
High and dry I need a little rain
Cause the bird was meant to sing
The vine was meant to climb
The bell was meant to ring
The sun it was meant to shine
The wind was meant to blow
Thunder meant to boom
The river it was meant to flow
Just like I was meant to bloom‘
‘ Cause I am just like a flower longing to thrive
Gonna dig my roots into the ground Reach high into the sky
Full of God’s glory my face into the sun
The wait is over. Let the rainin’ come….need to


Soak up the Rain to be myself again
Live as I was meant to be now until the end…need to
Soak up the rain to be myself again
Come and take a drink with me and a meadow of pretty flowers we will be
I’ll only take what I need
The rest for you I’ll leave
I’m so thirsty and I need a little rain
