Let It Rain
D.T.A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know it wasn't so long ago
When things weren't as we know
Back when I was younger and had a hunger
For all the things I didn't know

And I remember the day when
I went out to play
And I bird flew down to my hand
Didn't want to leave and
When I asked to keep
I remember my dad said

Yeah son let it go away
Hope that it comes back
Here to you some day
Just let it go away
And if it comes back
you know it's here to stay

Since then I've gone through changes
Since then I've gone through life
Since then I found me a beautiful woman
I thought could be my wife
She said she really loves me
But she said she couldn't stay
She said I've got to go my love
To find things my own way

So I let her go away
Hope that she comes back
Here to me some day
I let her go away
And if she comes back
I know she's here to stay

There's not always reasons for the things in life
But it's comforting to know within your mind
If you love something enough
And you've done all that you can
If there's one thing I have known and learned first hand
Sometimes you have to just let it go away

Hope that it comes back
Here to you some day
Just let it go away
And if it comes back
You know it's here to stay

Let it go away
And if it comes back




You know it's here to stay
Let it go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.T.A.'s song Let It Rain depict the idea of letting go and having faith that the things that matter most will eventually return. The song begins with the artist reflecting on his past, specifically his childhood, and the sense of curiosity he had for the world around him. He recalls a moment when a bird landed on his hand, and his father gave him the advice to let it go, for if it was meant to be, it would come back. The artist then goes through life's changes and explains a time when he was in love with someone who was unable to stay. He took his father's advice and let her go, hoping that she would come back to him one day.


The idea of letting go and having faith in the return is a universal truth that exemplifies living a life that is free from attachments. It's a reminder that sometimes we need to relinquish control and trust in ourselves and the universe. This song employs beautiful, simple language to evoke emotion and convey a message of hope to anyone who might be struggling with letting go of something or someone they love. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the things that are meant to be will come back in their own time, and for that reason, it's essential to have faith, hope, and keep moving forward.
