Here comes the rain

Once I was searchin'
For somethin' to change my ways
Clouds - they came rollin'
And from the thunder I heard them say

[Chorus]
The rain wizard will wash our hands
Bring magic to our land
The rain wizard will do it again
Bring magic to our land

Hair strung like silver
And the moons - they lit his robe
His boots - they are leading
To a path that no one knows

[Chorus]

Here comes the Rain Wizard
