We played tag as thunder rolled
Boom
Shoes soaked through but hearts were whole
Ha
Slid through mud like it was holy ground
No storm ever shut us down
Hey
Hey
Mama yelled from the wooden porch
Hey
"Lightning's close!" — we ran some more
No
Held our arms up to the sky
Yes
Begged the clouds to let it fly
Hey
Hey
Rain was just a reason
Hey
Reason not to stop
Ha
We were wild in the downpour
Never ran when thunder popped
Rain was just a reason
Ho
To run, not hide
Rain was just a reason
We were so alive
Hey
Socks still soaked by dinnertime
Hey
Towels on floors, mud in lines
Ha
We weren't clean, we made a mess
But those were the days we loved the best
Hey
Hey
Rain was just a reason
Hey
Reason not to stop
Ha
We were wild in the downpour
Never ran when thunder popped
Rain was just a reason
Ho
To run, not hide
Rain was just a reason
We were so alive
Who got soaked and didn't care
We did, We did, we did
Who danced when lightning cracked the air
We did, We did, we did
We told the clouds to give us more
Ha
Thunder made us cheer, not roar
Boom
Hey
They said wait, we said why
They stayed dry while we touched the sky
I wish they could understand
But their world was rooted in dryer land
Hey
Rain was just a reason
Hey
Reason not to stop
Ha
We were wild in the downpour
Never ran when thunder popped
Rain was just a reason
Ho
To run, not hide
Rain was just a reason
We were so alive
