This Lovibond May Rowanwood song from the Rowanwood music catalogue expresses spiritual renewal, humility, and inner cleansing through devotional lyrics and a slow English-Irish chamber folk arrangement.
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
There are times when my world dries up
I become a desert inside
A storm of dust settles on my heart
It is as if something in me died
My roots are in need of watering
Another desert wind descends upon me
Blowing across my dried cracked skin
The deep cleansing of a spring-time rain
A soaking away of stifling strife
A washing away of all my pain
A renaissance breathing life
My soul refreshes once again
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
This is my rain dance
When things aren’t right
When my spirit needs cleansing
When life’s a fight
Sometimes I just need to get
Out of this blinding light
This is my rain dance
This is my rain dance
When my world dries up
I pray for the rain
To renew clean up
Sometimes I just feel I need
A second chance
So I dance
My rain dance
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
My Rosary beads held close at hand
A crucifix on silver chain
One deep breath I cross myself
And step out into the lane
I Bow to the east I curtsy the west
My right hand extended out from my breast
My Lord My God My Truth My Light
The warm embrace of my Savior’s might
Breathes new life into me
Cleansing away my soul’s black stain
Setting my spirit free
My soul refreshes once again
This is my rain dance
When things aren’t right
When my spirit needs cleansing
When life’s a fight
Sometimes I just need to get
Out of this blinding light
This is my rain dance
This is my rain dance
When my world dries up
I pray for the rain
To renew clean up
Sometimes I just feel I need
A second chance
So I dance
My rain dance
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
I call on the storm
The gathering clouds
Lightning flashes
Thunder’s growl
I dance in the deluge
Pouring down
My body and spirit
Seed the ground
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Aaaaaa-aaaaa
Aaaaaa-aaaaa
