Early in the mornin' before the daylight
I hear the sound of thunder, comin' through in the night
I lie awake and I wonder, where my life is goin'

Am I on a road leadin' nowhere?
There's no way of knowin', oh knowin'
'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

Oh I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall, oh got 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, 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

And 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, 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
Get ready for the rain to fall
While I've still got time

Yeah, ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
Ready for the rain to fall
Fall down on me

Ohh, I've got to rise above it all
Fall, fall down on me
Down on me, down on me
