Children Of Eden Stranger To The Rain Lyrics

Stranger To The Rain Lyrics

Shed no tears for me 

 There'll be rain enough today 

 I'm wishing you godspeed 

 As I wave you on your way 

 This won't be the first time 

 I've stayed behind to face 

 The bitter consequences 

 Of an ancient fall from grace 

 I'm a daughter of the race of Cain 

 I am not a stranger to the rain 

  

 Orphan in the storm 

 That's a role I've played before 

 I've learned not to tremble 

 When I hear the thunder roar 

 I don't curse what I can't change 

 I just play the hand I'm dealt 

 When they lighten up the rations 

 I tighten up my belt 

 I won't say I've never felt the pain 

 But I am not a stranger to the rain 

  

 And somewhere far from safety 

 There's a man who's walking free 

 His story isn't mine 

 But he's as much alone as me 

 He has left his home to walk among 

 The wounded and the slain 

 And when the storm comes crashing on the plain 

 He will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane 

  

 Oh, shed no tears for me 

 Light no candle for my sake 

 This journey I'll be making 

 Is one we all must make 

 Shoulder to the wind 

 I'll turn my face into the spray 

 And when the heavens open 

 Let the drops fall where they may 

 If they finally wash away the stain 

 From a daughter of the race of Cain 

 I am not a stranger to the rain 

  

 Let it rain
