Verse 1
Well, we were just getting ready
To go out and have a picnic,
We had planned it all yesterday,
When all of a sudden
We heard the sound of thunder,
And saw the sky was turning gray.
And the rain, it started pouring
Down from the cloudy sky,
And we thought to ourselves,
"How boring, 'cause we'll have to stay inside!"

Verse 2
But the day wasn't done, and we had lots of fun,
Although we stayed inside, it's true.
We did a special project,
Went down to the workshop,
Discovered lots of different things to do.
We didn't forget our picnic,
We still had it in the afternoon.
We spread it out and ate it right there
On the floor of the livingroom.

Chorus
So we're glad it rained today [it rained today],
Though at first we were a little bit sad.
We played and worked and had a yummy snack.
So we're glad it rained today!

Verse 3
Plus, the ducks and the frogs
In the swamps and the bogs
Were so glad when the rain came along.
And the farmers in the fields
Were so happy and thrilled
Their crops could grow up tall and strong!
So although we had been disappointed,
The rain had made others glad.
So when we think about the frogs and the farmers,
We don't feel quite so sad.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
There are many times when things go wrong,
And not the way we want them to,
But now we see that may be because
There's something so much better,
[Something so much better],
Much better for us to do.

Repeat Chorus
