Early in the mornin' before the daylight   I hear the sound of thunder, comin' through in the night   I lie awake and I wonder, where my life is goin'      Am I on a road leadin' nowhere?   There's no way of knowin', oh knowin'   'Cause I've seen the lightnin'      And I'm ready for the rain to fall      Now I'm standin' on a mountain, lookin' into the sky   I see the clouds come rollin' in, water fills my eyes   I don't know what's in the future, no one can say      Don't wanna think about the past, I've gotta live for today   'Cause I've seen the lightnin' now   I need to find my own way, while I've still got time      And I'm ready for the rain to fall   'Cause I've heard the thunder      And I'm ready for the rain to fall   I'm ready, ready for the rain      Oh I've got to rise above it all   Get ready for the rain to fall, oh got ready      Did you ever know someone, who had lost their way?   Built their own little kingdom, and just blew it all away   I'm not ashamed to admit it, that someone was me   I'm gonna look to the future now, 'cause I've set myself free      And I've seen the lightnin' yeah   I'm gonna set myself free   While I've still got time      Get ready for the rain to fall   'Cause I've heard the thunder now      And I'm ready for the rain to fall   I'm ready, ready for the rain      Oh, I've got to rise above it all   Get ready for the rain to fall   While I've still got time      Yeah, I'm ready for the rain to fall   'Cause I've seen the lightnin'   I'm ready for the rain to fall   I'm ready, ready for the rain      Oh, I've got to rise above it all   Get ready for the rain to fall   While I've still got time      Yeah, ready for the rain to fall   I'm ready, ready for the rain   Ready for the rain to fall   Fall down on me      Ohh, I've got to rise above it all   Fall, fall down on me   Down on me, down on me
