[Verse 1]
Somewhere, there's a mother tryin'
Tryin' to fix a broken heart
She knows there's no use in cryin'
So she prays for a brand new start
Somewhere, there's children cryin'
'Cause the road to the river is way too far
They think there's no use in fightin'
'Cause their hopes and dreams have been torn apart

[Chorus]
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day

[Verse 2]
Somewhere, there's a father livin' on his knees
Waitin' on his little boy to come back home
He's traveled far, far and wide across the sea
Fightin' a hopeless war on his own
Somewhere, there's dreamers runnin' wild and free
Chasin' a rainbow, only they can see
It's a lonely road, but it's the only way to go
Will they make it there? We will never know
[Chorus]
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day

[Bridge]
It's a cold world outside
Such a shame
It's a cold world outside
So much pain

[Chorus]
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh Lord, I pray for a rainy day
