Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lightning hit so close
Sounded like a big tin can
All hail the rain
All hail the rain
Running like ghosts on the roof
Running like they're feeling alive again
[Chorus]
Here we are
We've been waiting
To be born again
[Verse 2]
When I die
When I die
Could I come back as the rain?
See the world again
To fall again
[Chorus]
If I'm dark
All the better
To reflect the moonlight
If I mourn
All the better
To behold the sunrise
[Outro]
I can hear the song of my death
Singing for the lightning to come
Calling to the thunder
"Polo!"
