[Verse 1]
Somewhere, there's a mother trying
Trying to fix a broken heart
She knows there's no use in crying
So she prays for a brand new start
Somewhere, there's children crying
Cause the road to the river is way too far
They think there's no use in fighting
Cause their hopes and dreams have been torn apart

[Chorus]
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day

[Verse 2]
Somewhere, there's a father living on his knees
Waiting on his little boy to come back
He's traveled far, far and wide across the sea
Fighting a hopeless war on his own
Somewhere, the dreamers run wide and free
Chasing a rainbow, only they can see
It's a lonely road but it's the only way to go
Will they make it there? We will never know

[Chorus]
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day

[Bridge]
It's a cold world outside
Such a shame
It's a cold world outside
So much pain

[Chorus x2]
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
So I pray, oh lord, I pray for a rainy day
