And Then One Day

And then one day the drought was over
Pipe was laid and the taps turned on
I've heard it said, I've seen it written
And then one day the sky upturned, the waters came

Before the rain the people suffered
But they were told they'd have to suffer more
In the name, in the teachings
But then one day a sinner came and he said hey

I have served more than one master
There comes a time in a young man's life
Where he must choose, he's not beholden
To the choices that the aging father made

The drought is over and the garden's green
Piled up against the dam it finally breached
The drought is over, we've found relief
Congratulations the drought is over, the garden's green

Like a stone in the St. Mary
I have waited without a sound
The shore is dry, down the bed came a trickle
I had a glass I filled it up because one day

The drought was over and the garden green
Piled up against the dam we finally breached it
The drought is over, we've found relief
Congratulations the drought is over, the garden's green
Congratulations the drought is over, the garden's green
