The song "Bring On the Rain" is from Jo Dee Messina's new CD, Burn (Tim McGraw sings the background vocals). It's a beautiful song!!! It's written by Billy Montana and Helen Darling.



AUTHOR'S NOTES:

It would be best if you read "The Other Side of Dark" but you can understand this story if you know the following information from the story:



In TOSOD, Joshua Doors was kidnapped and tortured by Agent Ronald Sandoval and several of his goons. Joshua was eventually rescued by Liam, but not before Sandoval implanted a device called an NSI in Joshua's brain. NSI stands for Neural Sensory Inducer. The device is allegedly designed to enhance the senses but it was misused by Sandoval, to torture Joshua. A doctor was able to deactivate the device but it cannot be removed from Joshua's head. This story takes place several months after and Joshua is still dealing with the events that occurred. In order to keep his life relatively normal, Joshua lied to Sandoval and told him that he didn't remember the events of his kidnapping.

Another day has almost come and gone

Can't imagine what else could go wrong

Sometimes I'd like to hide away

Somewhere and lock the door

A single battle lost but not the war

'Cause



Tomorrow's another day

And I'm thirsty anyway

So bring on the rain



It's almost like the hard times circle round

A couple drops and they all start coming down

Yeah, I might feel defeated

I might hang my head

I might be barely breathing --

But I'm not dead



Tomorrow's another day

And I'm thirsty anyway

So bring on the rain



I'm not gonna let it get me down,

I'm not gonna cry

And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight



Tomorrow's another day

And I'm thirsty anyway

So bring on the rain
