Oh the rains the rains are falling now Oh the rains the rains are failing now Turning streets to streams Stronger than they seems Oh the wind the wind is rising now Oh the wind the wind is howling now Tearing through the leaves Tearing down the trees She said I wish that I'd been born before the rains began to fall Before the rivers dried, the oceans rose, the fires consumed it all Before the smoke became a pall Oh the fires the fires are burning now Oh the fires the fires are burning now Taste the ash in the air Ashes in your hair Oh my darling we can't wish for the sky Storms are closing in Storms are closing in Oh the clouds the clouds are parting now Air is clearer, grass is greener now Brighter than it seems We're wiser than we seem Oh my darling we can reach for the sky Rise above your fears Fly above your fears Walk on through the years Rise above your fears Wash away your tears
