1.  I was born in the barrio badlands.
I learned to fight when I was young.
My heart became a wasteland...burned by the desert sun.

The winds of change are blowing 
Through this barren soul.
She planted a seed here, 
But I�m afraid that it won�t grow.

* Now the rain falls on this man who�s hard as stone.
The angels are crying.  He doesn�t have to be alone.

2. My brown-eyed lady loves me with her life.
She reaches out, I push away, 
But only she can quench this fire.

This is the love that momma said I�d never find.
There�s thunder and lightning 
But the storm rages on inside.

* Now the rain falls on this man who�s hard as stone.
The angels are crying.  He doesn�t have to be alone.

+ The heavens open.  The waters rise.
It�s pouring.  I step outside.

* Now the rain falls on this man who starts to hope.
An angel has saved him.  He doesn�t have to be alone.

Now the rain falls.    Now the rain falls.
