Early in the mornin'

Before the daylight

I hear the sound of thunder

Comin' thru the night



Lie awake and I wonder

Where my life is goin'?

Am I on a road leadin' nowhere?

There's no way of knowin', oh no



'Cause I've seen the lightnin'

And I'm ready for the rain to fall



Now I'm standin' on a mountain

Lookin' into the sky

I see the clouds come rollin' in

Water fills my eyes



I don't know what's in the future

No one can say

Don't wanna think about the past

I've gotta live for today



'Cause I've seen the lightnin' now

I need to find my own way

While I've still got time



And I'm ready for the rain to fall

'Cause I've heard the thunder

And I'm ready for the rain to fall

I'm ready, ready for the rain

Woah, I've got to rise above it all

And get ready for the rain to fall, woah-oh



I'm ready



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

Oooh, that someone was me

I'm gonna look to the future now

'Cause I've set myself free



And I've seen the lightnin', yeah

I'm gonna set myself free

While I've still got time



Get ready for the rain to fall

'Cause I've heard the thunder now

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

While I've still got time



Yeah-eah-eah-eh



I'm ready for the rain to fall

'Cause I've seen the lightnin'

I'm ready for the rain to fall

I'm ready, ready for the rain

Oh, I've got to rise above it all

And get ready for the rain to fall

While I've still got time

Get ready for the rain to fall

I'm ready, (ready for the rain)

Ready for the rain, to fall

Fall down on me, whoaaaaah

I've got to rise above it all

(Ready for the rain to fall) fall

(Fall down on me) ready for the rain to fall

Down on me, down on me

(Oh) ready for the rain to fall
