(Chorus)

Sometimes I wonder… Why God made the thunder and the rain
Sometimes the lightning can be so frightening
That I close my eyes tight,
Clench my fists white
In an effort to keep myself sane.

But after the storm breaks and after the earthquakes
There’s always a rainbow
That makes all the pain go
And eases the pressure in my brain.
Sometimes I wonder… Why God made the thunder and the rain.

Verse

Now that you’ve left me, there’s a storm in my heart
Thunder and lightning are tearing apart
The family that has been my reason to live
Remember they say it’s divine to forgive

Now I know that I’m not so handsome or smart
But I know I love you with all of my heart
You smile’s the rainbow that’ll make the storm go
Please come back Darlin’ and make the sun show.

(Repeat Chorus)

Is that more thunder or a knock on my door?
Now that you’ve come back it’s raining no more
The bluebirds are singin’ in the blossoming trees
And sailboats are sailing across the calm seas.
(I guess the good Lord has heard all my pleas)
(And sailors are sailing on calm, balmy seas)

Sometimes I wonder why God made the thunder and the rain…

Maybe the reason was clear all along
Maybe as clear as the words of this song
So rip from the demon his evil black hood
We survive the bad to get to the good.

(Repeat Chorus, ending slower)
