I live in the high desert. Unexpected rain is a happy event around here!

Lyrics

Unexpected Rain
©️2024 - words and music by Sharon Stepler

When my soul is as dusty
As the sun-parched ground
And everywhere around me
My green has turned to brown

You hold me tenderly
Give love so easily
It washes over me

Like unexpected rain
Unexpected rain
Upon the desert wind
My heart drinks it in
And learns to bloom again
In unexpected rain

When I’m almost dead inside
Like a curled-up thirsty leaf
And my well has run dry
Your love brings relief

My cup fills to the brink
It’s cool and pure to drink
Like a river in the spring

Like unexpected rain
Unexpected rain
Upon the desert wind
My heart drinks it in
And learns to bloom again
In unexpected rain

Just like a gentle rain revives the desert, this song refreshes the soul and nourishes the spirit, reminding us that love can bring life to even the driest hearts.

I commented elsewhere today about how weather is becoming more and more of a theme for music--what with it being a Top Story in the news day after day and more and more. This is a lovely example thereof, and I particularly like your vocal on this one. ❤️

Nothing like the expected unexpected in life. Fab ingredients in this write that bring it to life. Dig that chorus and how all else is supported by its strength. Cool rendition in song.

This is gorgeous, the guitar sounds amazing and the melody is beautiful, especially the choruses. The lyrics are so poetic. This is a great write. Very well skirmished.

Super-cool guitar part - love the alternate tuning sound. Felt like I could almost smell the freshness of the unexpected rain. "Curled-up thirsty leaf" is a great line.

@robynmackenzieMod 8w

Beautifully done, very lovely voice and the words flow nicely. Well done on the challenge.
I currently live in north Florida. The prompt came from the unexpected rain yesterday.
Thank you for participating.
