Stranger to the Rain

"Shed no tears for me,
There'll be rain enough today.
I'm wishing you godspeed
As I wave you on your way.
This won't be the first time
I've stayed behind to face
The bitter consequences
Of an ancient fall from grace.
I'm a daughter of the race of Cain:
I am not a stranger to the rain.

Orphan in the storm,
That's a role I've played before!
I've learned not to tremble
When I hear the thunder roar.
I don't curse what I can't change
I just play the hand I'm dealt,
When they lighten up the rations
I tighten up my belt.
I won't say I've never felt the pain,
I am not a stranger to the rain.

And for the boy who's given me the sweetest love I've known,
I wish for him another love so he won't be alone.
But I am bound to walk among the wounded and the slain,
And when the storm comes crashing on the plain,
I will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane!

Oh-

Shed no tears for me,
Light no candle for my sake.
This journey I'll be making now
Is one we all must make.
Shoulder to the wind,
I'll turn my face into the spray.
And when the heavens open
Let the drops fall where they may,
If they finally wash away the stain
From a daughter of the race of Cain.
I am not a stranger to the rain...

Let it rain."


Sung by the character Yona in "Children Of Eden"... One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the fortune to perform.
