I hoped for it to rain
and when it finally came
I found I’d hoped in vain
(My desire for it had changed)

So I wished for it to snow
and when it did
I wanted it to go
(just wasn’t the same as when I was a kid)

Then I prayed for the sun to shine
and when it did appear
I had changed my mind
and I longed for night to be here

But when night came and day was no more
the darkness filled me with fright
so I hoped for the rain once more
and prayed for the sun with its light
