(Ah)
All: After it rains
we've seen the storm
and felt the power (power of its pain)
After it rains, after it rains.
After it rains,
Who knew that life comes
with some rain? (a little fall of rain)
After it rains, after it rains.
The light breaks through
and frees us from our chains
(the new ground opens up and welcomes life)
For when the sky has dried its eyes
and kissed the storm goodbye
then we will rise,
after it rains!
