Humming, drumming on my roof
Falling, splashing on the earth
The rain is all around us
And drenches a dry soul
Dripping, dropping on the ground
Clinging, clapping against the window
The rain is all around us
And quenches a thirsty body
Please wash away the dust
Make me clean once again
Won't you wash away the past
So I can start over again
Please wash away my tears
Flood the rivers with hope
Won't you wash away the hurt
So I no longer remember the pain
Flashing, flooding city streets
Misting, whispering through forest trees
The rain is all around us
Nurturing a wilting mind
Pounding, knocking on passing umbrellas
Sliding, seeping through each sidewalk crack
The rain is all around us
And brings alive the spirit
Please wash away the dust
Make me clean once again
Won't you wash away the past
So I can start over again
Please wash away my tears
Flood the rivers with hope
Won't you wash away the hurt
So I no longer remember the pain
