Veronica Ballestrini Pray When It Rains
I was three years old
At the side of my bed
Learned to fold my hands and bow my head
When Mama said
"You know, he's always listening"
No matter what kind of trouble we'll find
Ain't nothing too big
He's always got the time to fix it
Yeah, that's his business
It might be hard to see
For such a little girl
Things can get a little scary
In this big old world
When the sky is dark
And the clouds roll in
Kicking up dust like a Texas wind
And everything begins to change
You may not pray when it's sunny
But you'll pray when it rains
When I turned seventeen
And I learned how to run on the back of a Harley
Soaking up the sun
Holding on to someone who never really loved me
And a bolt of lightning lit up the sky
And the sound of thunder shot through the night
And before I knew it
The storm was upon me
When the sky is dark
And the clouds roll in
Kicking up dust like a Texas wind
And everything begins to change
You may not pray when it's sunny
But you'll pray when it rains
Lord, forgive me
For making such a mess out of my life
And waiting far too long
To send this prayer up tonight
Thanks for Mama's words of wisdom
For what it's worth
They were lost
But not forgotten
I still remember every word
When the sky is dark
And the clouds roll in
Kicking up dust like a Texas wind
And everything begins to change
You may not pray when it's sunny
But you'll pray when it rains
You may not pray when it's sunny
But you'll pray when it rains
Pray when it rains
When the sky gets dark
You'll pray when it rains
You'll pray when it rains
