Thank You for the Rain

I used to curse the thunder
I used to hate the grey
I'd stand there at the window
Wishing every cloud away
But the garden kept on growing
In the places I'd forgot
And the flowers that were waiting
Only needed what I'd got

Now I see it, now I know
Something had to rain for me to grow

So thank you for the rain
Thank you for the pain
For the nights I couldn't find my way
Thank you for the storm
Because it kept my roots warm
And it made me who I am today
Thank you for the rain

My father used to tell me
Son, the sky is never wrong
Every cloud is carrying
The water for a song
I didn't understand him
Till I lost and found my feet
Now I'm singing in the downpour
Dancing down my mother's street

Now I see it, now I know
Something had to rain for me to grow

So thank you for the rain
Thank you for the pain
For the nights I couldn't find my way
Thank you for the storm
Because it kept my roots warm
And it made me who I am today
Thank you for the rain

Let it rain, let it rain
