A distant rumble
Darkening sky
The birds fluttering for a haven
Big drops splash here and there
Let the big show begin!
Darkening sky
The birds fluttering for a haven
Big drops splash here and there
Let the big show begin!
Now thunder rolling
Lightning cracking, sizzling
The clouds unload, raindrops pounding
Leaves doing a panic dance
Puddles forming gutters gurgling
A car splashes past
Wipers pounding back and forth in vain
The soil drinks deeply
Soaking up the rain like a sponge
To hold in trust for our plants
To store down deep for our wells
To recycle back through evaporation
Soaking up the rain like a sponge
To hold in trust for our plants
To store down deep for our wells
To recycle back through evaporation
We, being two thirds water
Are made to sing and dance
At the wonder of it all
