Sometimes it's gotta rain Sometimes it's gotta rain To make you build your house on the rock Sometimes you gotta go through the night Sometimes you gotta go through the night To make you love the morning light Sometimes you never know you're sick until you're healed Sometimes you never know you're thirsty until you drink Sometimes you never know you're blind until you see Sometimes you never know you're dead until you live Sometimes you never know, sometimes it's gotta rain Sometimes you gotta fall in the pit Sometimes you gotta fall in the miry pit To make you hold the hand, that pulls you out of it Sometimes you gotta bleed Sometimes you gotta bleed To make you see the mercy you need Somtimes it's gotta rain (it's gotta rain) These bones that you have broken, may rejoice
