The ground is parched and dry,
the cattle they got fly,
Is it ever gonna rain, cause
then we’ll feel no pain
We’re lookin to you Lord, for we
can ill afford
To see another drought , it will
knock us out.
There’s a cyclone in the north
and it’s coming to the coast
Surely won’t get down too far,
make it half way at the most
But Friday skies breaks loose
and the rain begins to fall
Puts a big smile on your face makes
us feel just ten feet tall
Our feet they are a dancing, we knew
it all along
That the good Lord up above
answers all our prayers with love
Well the rain kept pouring down
and the creeks all start to rise
The cattle went for higher
ground but some would’nt even try
Hubby on the old quad bike went
into the raging stream
To rescue all these forlorn
cows, the likes you’d never seen
The rain kept coming down, down
down, and water everywhere
I said to Hubby, “That’s
enough. How we gonna fare?”
So then we joined our hands as
one and looked to God above
We said, “Thank you Lord for the
rain you sent to us in love”
Please stop the rain, no more
for now, it really is enough
We do thank you for everything
but now it’s getting tough
Lord we’re really start to worry
and we know we shouldn’t oughta
But over every paddock that we
own all we see is water.
We woke up in the morning and at
the light of day
The weather it had broke, the
rain had gone away
From the brown and dusty earth,
the tinge of green now did appear
For the drought had come and
gone, no longer did we fear
