Blessing the Rain

Come outside, and let yourself be soaked
Heaven’s tears are pouring down; from the Maldives to Spain
Do you feel your soul warming up with a sense of hope?
This is what you get from the blessing of the rain.

Thin streaks of sunlight manage to peak through
Healing every wound and curing us of pain
 An intimate bond forms between me and you
As we worship the blessing of the rain.

The elders always tell us a special story
Of how we’ve earned the blessing of the rain
As we’ve become drenched, we were led to eternal glory
And happiness and love were all that remained.
I look up and await the incoming storm
Excitement fills me, rather than fear
My heart beats fast in anticipation for I know I’ll transform
The blessed rain will cleanse my soul, and everything will become clear.
Hush now, daughter of man
Native of Altera Domi where peace has reigned
Receive this sacred gift and bring honor to your clan
For you have witnessed the blessing of the rain.

Come outside, and let yourself be soaked
Heaven’s tears are pouring down; from the Maldives to Spain
Do you feel your soul warming up with a sense of hope?
This is what you get from the blessing of the rain.

Thin streaks of sunlight manage to peak through
Healing every wound and curing us of pain
 An intimate bond forms between me and you
As we worship the blessing of the rain.
