[Verse 1]
Rivers will rise from the earth to the sky when it rains
Levees will break, overflowing the lakes when it rains
And swallow the valley and rise through the hills into space
Yeah, it consumes my body on my sacrifice, it's my fate

[Pre-Chorus]
And as quick as you showed up, you faded away
You stole my heart in my sunniest days
My shelter gone, now I wait for the storm
I stand alone and I pray

[Chorus]
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away-way-way
And when the rain falls with the tears on my face
Nobody will see the pain
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away-way-way
I let it all go as it swallows me whole
I gave you all my sunny days
I pray for the rain

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I pray for the rain
[Verse 2]
I stand on the ledge and I got nothing left to my name
And you kiss my tears for a million years and it stains

[Pre-Chorus]
And as quick as you showed up, you faded away
You stole my heart in my sunniest days
My shelter gone, now I wait for the storm
I stand alone and I pray

[Chorus]
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away-way-way
And when the rain falls with the tears on my face
Nobody will see the pain
I pray for the rain, rain, rain
Wash it away-way-way
I let it all go as it swallows me whole
I gave you all my sunny days
I pray for the rain

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I pray for the rain
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
I pray for the rain
