Stephen Schwartz - Stranger to the Rain lyrics

[YONAH] 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 But 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 Because 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 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
