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 stranger to the rain
A
Orphan in the storm
That's a role I've played before
And 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
And when they lighten up my 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
BRIDGE
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 taking now
Is one we all must make
A
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
A
Let it rain!
