[Verse 1]
Early in the morning before the daylight
I hear the sound of thunder, coming through in the night
I lie awake and I wonder, where my life is going
Am I on a road leading nowhere?
There's no way of knowing, oh knowing
Because I've seen the lightning
[Chorus]
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
Now I'm standing on a mountain, looking into the sky
I see the clouds come rolling in, water fills my eyes
I don't know what's in the future, no one can say
[Verse 2]
Don't want to think about the past, I've got to live for today
Cause I've seen the lightning now
I need to find my own way, while I've still got time
[Chorus]
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
Because I've heard the thunder
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
Oh I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall, oh got ready
[Verse 3]
Did you ever know someone, who had lost their way?
Built their own little kingdom, and just blew it all away
I'm not ashamed to admit it, that someone was me
I'm going to look to the future now, cause I've set myself free
[Bridge]
And I've seen the lightning yeah
I'm going to set myself free
While I've still got time
[Chorus]
Get ready for the rain to fall
Cause I've heard the thunder now
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
[Bridge]
Oh, I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall
While I've still got time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm ready for the rain to fall
Because I've seen the lightning
I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
[Outro]
Oh, I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall
While I've still got time
Yeah, ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
Ready for the rain to fall
Fall down on me
Oh, I've got to rise above it all
Fall, fall down on me
Down on me, down on me
