[Verse 1] You stood by the fire With the wind on your coat A nation in pieces And a steadying note You spoke of the land Like it knew your name Even when the world Came hungry and maimed [Pre-Chorus] You held the line When the young ones ran You held the line With an open hand [Chorus] Rains Fall, Rains Fall Keep on standing tall Rains Fall, Rains Fall You were peace through it all Wapiti pride In your quiet soul Rains Fall, Rains Fall You carried us whole [Verse 2] You saw through the smoke To the cost of the fight Not every hard heart Knows wrong from right You gave them a path Even bruised, even worn A chief with a burden And a will to warn [Pre-Chorus] You held the line When the night cut deep You held the line So the children could sleep [Chorus] Rains Fall, Rains Fall Keep on standing tall Rains Fall, Rains Fall You were peace through it all Wapiti pride In your quiet soul Rains Fall, Rains Fall You carried us whole [Bridge] When the valley went cold And the thunder rolled low You did not give up You did not let go You wore your grief Like a crown made of stone Still you led with a heart That could shelter a home [Final Chorus] Rains Fall, Rains Fall Keep on standing tall Rains Fall, Rains Fall You were peace through it all Wapiti pride In your quiet soul Rains Fall, Rains Fall You carried us whole Rains Fall, Rains Fall Your name stays alive Rains Fall, Rains Fall In the people you guide
