We were startled by the rain
we weren't used to it
the pit pat, pit pat, pit pat
We were startled by the rain
such a long drought
pit, pit, pit, pat, pat
We were startled by the distant thunder
we had been shaken by quakes
but no thunder, not in months, perhaps a year
We were startled by the lightning
its white flash sparking fear and awe
zipping through the sky
Pit, pit, pat, pat, pat
Pit, pit, pat, pat, pat
Flashes and shakes
We are startled by the rain
we aren't used to it
the pit pat, pit, pat, pit pat

We were startled by the rain
we weren't used to it
the pit pat, pit pat, pit pat
We were startled by the rain
such a long drought
pit, pit, pit, pat, pat
We were startled by the distant thunder
we had been shaken by quakes
but no thunder, not in months, perhaps a year
We were startled by the lightning
its white flash sparking fear and awe
zipping through the sky
Pit, pit, pat, pat, pat
Pit, pit, pat, pat, pat
Flashes and shakes
We are startled by the rain
we aren't used to it
the pit pat, pit, pat, pit pat
