Forever and a day
lying awake listening to the falling rain
forever and a day
it's a welcoming blessing I'd say

Forever and a day
looking towards a clouded sky
forever and a day
it's tears from heaven
our land no longer appears dry

Forever and a day
the mountain tops beautiful and wet
forever and a day
we're humbled no longer driven by respect
now we know to turn to God instead

Forever and a day
lying awake listening to the falling rain
forever and a day
it's a welcoming blessing I'd say
everything is possible once you start to pray

The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. -Shakespeare.

Parts of the country have a drought lasting two years at least already. The farmers are in dire straits. By us we have had only a few thunder showers this season each only about half an hour. We are desperate especially the Western Cape, Cape Town too- almost no rain for months and months.

"It's a welcoming blessing I'd say" and mercy.

Since then (yesterday!) we've had good rains and widespread, over most of the country. A lot of people in South-Africa are very happy! We are very much dependent on good quality water. As you say Mary-Ann I think all of us enjoy lying in in the bed listening to the rain on the roof the wind and even the thunder!
