Life is full of bigotry
Hope of rebirth we plea
But we have dug our shallow graves
Our days are numbered now
But now we wonder how
Life has made us into slaves
That's where the problem lies
Hidden behind our eyes
Way down deep within our soul
They say our problems clear
But it's confused from here
We, having just no self..."control"
And now here it comes
To wash away all the things done wrong
And now here it comes
So prepare yourselves
Our day is almost come
Welcome Thunderhead
Wash away the tears
Wash away the pain
And all our hopes and fears
Welcome Thunderhead
All our dreams are stained
With the scars of war
So cleanse our sins
With your rain
Bodies covered in the soil
So wash the dirt we toil
Someone take the pain away
They say it's just a dream
And that's the way it seems
But the distant skies are gray
It all seems better now
The thunder's growing loud
And our savior's coming near
Our problems seem real small
Yet we haven't changed at all
But we can't see "ourselves"... from here
And now here it comes
To wash away all the things done wrong
And now here it comes
So prepare yourselves
Our day is almost come
Welcome Thunderhead
Wash away the tears
Wash away the pain
And all our hopes and fears
Welcome Thunderhead
All our dreams are stained
With the scars of war
So cleanse our sins
With your rain
He rips the skies wide open
And all our sins are soaked in
Now the master's come to play
But, he comes to us today
We'll dance beneath the clouds
Our laughter cries out loud
The thunder's here to stay
You can't hold the wind at bay
Welcome Thunderhead
Wash away the tears
Wash away the pain
And all our hopes and fears
Welcome Thunderhead
Our bodies are in vain
With the scars of war
Our night must drive us insane
Welcome Thunderhead
Wash away the tears
Wash away the pain
And all our hopes and fears
Welcome Thunderhead
All our dreams are stained
With the scars of war
So cleanse our sins
With your rain
So Welcome Thunderhead
So Welcome Thunderhead
