The Drought Is Over

Such a long time, 1968
When I thought I had the world by the tail
Never thinking it could simmer
Who'd have thought that the stock was to fail

The drought is over, yes it's over for me
The drought is over, it's plain to see
Rich with love now, when before I was poor
I see beauty where there was none before
The drought is over, yes it is
The drought is over, yeah

It's been a struggle, but I've made it through
And the rain is falling sweetly on me
Like a flower, I am growing
And it's feeling so good to me

The drought is over, yes it's over for me
The drought is over, it's plain to see
When the sun shines, it's so wonderful I know
But without raindrops, the pretty flowers won't grow
The drought is over, yeah
The drought is over, yeah

The drought is over, yes it's over for me
The drought is over, it's plain to see
The drought is over, yeah that was the end
The drought is over, Barry Gordy's my friend
The drought is over, yeah
The drought is over, yeah

The drought is over, mm it's plain to see
The drought is over, it's all over for me
We've been struggling for a while
But I still wanna smile, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
The drought is over, it's over for me
The drought is over, Lord it's plain to see
The drought is over, that was the end
The drought is over, Barry Gordy's my friend

Oh Barry, oh Barry, make things merry
Oh don't you know, yeah
Yeah, hey

Thank God
(It's over)
