Before the Rain may refer to:
Before the Rain is a 2010 Australian drama film, directed by Craig Boreham, Nick Clifford and CJ Johnson and written by Shirley Barrett.
Before the Rain is the third album by the British R&B vocal group Eternal, released in March 1997. The album includes the single "I Wanna Be the Only One" (a duet with BeBe Winans) which became Eternal's first and only number one hit in the United Kingdom.
The album features lead vocals from Vernie Bennett and Kéllé Bryan unlike their previous two albums which had featured Esther Bennett doing the majority of the lead vocals. It was the last album to feature Bryan, who was sacked in 1998.
"Someday", which was the theme to Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, was released as a single in 1996, the year before Before the Rain was released. "Don't You Love Me" was released just before the album's release, followed by the duet with American singer BeBe Winans "I Wanna Be the Only One" which reached #1 in the UK, becoming Eternal's first and only number one hit there. "How Many Tears" was scheduled for release as a single but plans were dropped due to the future release of the Greatest Hits.
At the edge of the sea
A glimpse towards the sun
I embrace the warmth
And all is revealed
But i forgot my name
A memory, that it's not there
A sun, i would not dare. to touch
Coming closer, onto you
Crossing storms and clouds for you
Towards the sun
All we be forgiven, all will be lost
This stream of bleak emotions
Pours weakness within my blood
I crave for the grandeur
For the shining beauty
Fury, consuming fury
Fire, cleansing fire
Take me astray
Away from the earth
Free from the chains of flesh
Made of stars and light
In the wings
Of prosper and shine...
Of nothing
I will prosper and shine...
I am the breath of life
I am the bringer of joy
