Stranger To The Rain (From "Children Of Eden") Lyrics

There'll be rain enough today

I'm wishing you godspeed

As I wave you on your way

This won't be the first time

I've stayed behind to face

The bitter consequences

Of an ancient fall from grace

I'm a daughter of the race of Cain

I am not a stranger to the rain



Orphan in the storm

That's a role I've played before

I've learned not to tremble

When I hear the thunder roar

I don't curse what I can't change

I just play the hand I'm dealt

When they lighten up the rations

I tighten up my belt

I won't say I've never felt the pain

But I am not a stranger to the rain



And somewhere far from safety

There's a man who's walking free

His story isn't mine

But he's as much alone as me

He has left his home to walk among

The wounded and the slain

And when the storm comes crashing on the plain

He will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane



Oh, shed no tears for me

Light no candle for my sake

This journey I'll be making

Is one we all must make

Shoulder to the wind

I'll turn my face into the spray

And when the heavens open

Let the drops fall where they may

If they finally wash away the stain

From a daughter of the race of Cain

I am not a stranger to the rain



Let it rain
