stranger to the rain - stephen schwartz lyrics
[yonah]
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 for the boy who’s given me
the sweetest love i’ve known
i wish for him another love
so he won’t be alone
because i am bound to walk
among the wounded and the slain
and when the storm comes
crashing on the plain
i 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
