At the end of March, we asked you to come up with lines for a song for when the rain starts again. Then we asked you to write a song as well.zizv

If it ever rains again

We long to hear it raining, zizv
watch it beating on the ground, zizv
smell sweetness in our breathing, zizv
hear the magic of its sound. zizv
We'll dance with joy, make music zizv
and will make it very plain zizv
that life will be much better zizv
if it ever rains again. zizv

We'll see the grasses growing, zizv
all the sheep will wear a smile, zizv
the birds will start their nesting - zizv
that's not happened for awhile. zizv
The creek will flow with water zizv
and we'll start to sow some grain - zizv
then hope a crop will happen zizv
if it ever rains again. zizv

zizv
One day the skies will blacken zizv
and the storm clouds come down low, zizv
the heavens will be opened, zizv
and nature's hand will show zizv
we haven't been forgotten, zizv
it will wash away the strain zizv
of years filled up with hurting zizv
if it ever rains again. zizv

zizv
zizv
The worries will be over, zizv
we will soon begin to pay zizv
off debts accumulated - zizv
that will be a special day. zizv
We'll throw ourselves a party, zizv
shout aloud this great refrain. zizv
Yes, living will be worth it zizv
if it ever rains again.
