Let It Rain

The lyrics describe a movement from sorrow toward comfort through love. At first, the speaker feels surrounded by sadness, but love brings a sense of warmth and emotional fullness. By the end, the speaker seems more confident that giving love can create a mutual connection.

Rain is the central image. Though rain can suggest sadness, here it is welcomed as a blessing: the speaker asks for love to “rain down” on them, as if it could refresh or nourish them. The image of a “desert flower” suggests someone living in harsh, lonely conditions, who may begin to thrive when love arrives. The line about love being “harder said than done” means that learning to love can be difficult in practice, even if the idea sounds simple.

The lyrics leave some details open. The speaker’s earlier sorrow and the desert flower’s hardship are not explained, so they may be literal or figurative. The repeated request for rain could express gratitude, longing, or both: the speaker has found love, yet still wants more of its comfort. The claim that love will be returned sounds hopeful, though it may be a belief the speaker is choosing to trust rather than a guarantee.
