"It's Always Gonna Rain" lyrics

Sun has been shining
For I don't know how long
Creek beds are empty
And the cotton's long gone
For folks around here
Hope's the last thing to go
Even the wildflowers find
Some way to grow
Find some way to grow

Just when you're down on your knees
Wonder is god listening
Say all your prayers
And lie down to sleep
Just like a dream
It's always gonna rain
It's always gonna rain

My dad and his dad
His dad before
Used to stare at the stars
From just off the back porch
Momma was inside
But she never would cry
I'd hear her whisper
Don't give up on the sky
Don't give up on the sky

It's always gonna rain

Your eyes are closin'
Got your windows open
Before you know it
Wind starts blowin'
Not done hopin'
It's gonna take away your pain
Rain, it's always gonna
Always gonna rain
It's always gonna rain

This ain't no dream, its rain
