Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. 

It's about learning to dance in the rain 

 Teh Demitoes Rain Dance  

I believe I believe I believe it's gonna rain!

 Little drops
fallin' down
from the sky
and the ground
she is laughin'
Little worms are slappin'
head to their tails
tappin' to sound
of the thunder rollin' round

 I'm awaitin' awaitin' awaitin' for the ra-a-ain
pour down on me oh-ho make it soooo
come little drops... come to mama...
ya know ya know ya know ya wanna

 tiny packs
of moist salvation
the faithful await
your damp salutation
Oh clouds roll above me
show me you love me
show me that you mean it
when you say you'll come

 

 I'm awaitin' awaitin awaitin for the ra-a-ain
pour down on me oh-ho make it soooo
come little drops... come to mama...
ya know ya know ya know ya wanna

 

No slam bam thank you mam
I need a 

sustained rain
soakin deep and dirty down
who knows when next
you'll be around
make it count make it last
I want the good stuff 

slow and vast

 

 I'm awaitin' awaitin awaitin for the ra-a-ain
pour down on me oh-ho make it soooo
come little drops... come to mama...
ya know ya know ya know ya wanna

 

Any minute now...
