It Takes A Lot of Rain Lyrics

It takes a lot of rain to grow a rose

God knows it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to cause a flood

Written in blood that it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to wash you out

No doubt it takes a lot of rain

Did you ever try to cross an endless desert

In a pair of worn out sneakers and some jeans

With a sunburned thumb and someone's favorite t-shirt

Trying hard to figure out what heaven means

Watching ladies in imported shiny sports cars

Ask you if you need a ride or something new

When a simple glass of water and compassion

Is all you really need to get you through

It takes a lot of rain to grow a rose

God knows it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to cause a flood

Written in blood that it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to wash you out

No doubt it takes a lot of rain

That it takes a lot of rain to grow a rose

God knows it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to cause a flood

Written in blood that it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to wash away another day

It takes a lot of rain

Did you ever try to climb forbidden mountains

That haunted you in nightmares as a child

When it seemed you'd never make it past the evening

When they hung you out to dry before you dialed

Did it seem like there was too much left to conquer

Did the fire block your way and burn your eyes

From the desert to the mountain headed nowhere

Drop the curtain take a bow and realize

That it takes a lot of rain to grow a rose

God knows it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to cause a flood

Written in blood that it takes a lot of rain

It takes a lot of rain to wash away another day

It takes a lot of rain
