Petrichor: The smell of earth after rain.

This song is about the aftermath of hard times, wondering what that would look like and remaining hopeful in God's ability to redeem things.

lyrics

Verse 1
What will it smell like after the rains?
What will it smell like after the rains?
It’ll smell like earth and smell like pain
Like pitch and pavement things
Like new and washed out stains
Like rainbows in puddles

Verse 2
What will it smell like after the rains?
What will it smell like after the rains?
It’ll smell like storms of yesterday
Like rusty galvanize
Like new and flooded plains
Like dancing in puddles

Chorus
Oh Petrichor
Oh Petrichor
Yeshua, Yeshua will take you over

Verse 3
What will it smell like after the rains?
What will it smell like after the rains?
It’ll smell like roots now grown down deep
Turned into trees planted by streams
It’ll smell like houses built on rocks
The ones that no storm can tear down

Chorus
Oh Petrichor
Oh Petrichor
Yeshua, Yeshua will take you over

End Tag
Yeshua
Yeshua
Yeshua
Yeshua
Yeshua
Yeshua…that’s what I’ll smell like
Yeshua, ooh
That’s what I’ll smell like
