Lyrics

PRAYING FOR RAIN
(Marna Bales, Jody Boyd, Melanie Cox, Cherryl Whitely)

Out on the edge of Wilson
Is our little farmin? town
I?m standin? on my front porch
Just starin? the fields down
Ain?t no hands on the plow
This ground?s too hard anyhow
Feels like the drought of ?88
When the river dried and folks drove away

But I swear I feel a change
The clouds are dark and low
Is this heaven?s way
To answer those below?

CHORUS: Somebody?s prayin? for rain
They know just what to say
Despite my lack of faith
I believe it here today
Somebody?s prayin? for rain

On the front porch of my heart
On the outside lookin? in
I still see the day you left
And I feel the pain again
Our love raged like thunder will,
Our stubborn pride stormed until
There was nothing left of us
And you drove away in a cloud of dust

And I stood there like a stone
Never let my feelings show
Now tears like rain they flow
Washin? out my soul

CHORUS

Every dry spell
Will come to an end
If I can just hold on
Hold on ?til then

CHORUS Somebody?s prayin? for rain (prayin? for rain)
?Cause it?s finally coming down (comin? down)
It starts with just a drop
And you hope that it won?t stop
?Til it?s soaked this thirsty ground (prayin? for rain)
Now I?m down on my knees (on my knees)
Please tell me what to say (what to say)
?Cause despite my lack of faith
I believe it here today
Somebody?s prayin? for rain (prayin? for rain)
I said despite my lack of faith
I believe it here today
?Cause I?m prayin? for rain
