Chorus:
        G#     D#         A#              Cm  A#
Like an island rain  that comes in out of nowhere
    G#                  D#               Cm
You might not choose to go there  but it hits
              A#
you just the same
           G#                D#       A#        Cm
Close your eyes and see what matters wash away worry
     A#
and pain
G#           D#          G#     D#
There's holy water in an island rain

F#              B                   C#    B
Maybe what you have ain't what you wanted
F#                    B             C#
Where you are ain't where you wanna be
           F#        B
Maybe you feel tied down
       G#                    C#                A#
Maybe somethin's gonna come around to set you free

Chorus:
Like an island rain, that comes in out of nowhere
Might not choose to go there, but it hits you just
the same
Close your eyes and see what matters, wash away
worry and pain
There's holy water in an island rain

Everyday is a blessin' to be counted
Every night is a lesson to be learned
Watchin' the world go 'round
Takes a whole lot of up and down to make it turn

Chorus:
Like an island rain that comes in out of nowhere
You might not choose to go there, but it hits you
just the same
Close your eyes and see what matters, wash away
worry and pain
There's holy water in an island rain
In an island rain
In an island rain
