After Desert Rain is a reflective milestone song inspired by the long wait between belief and proof — the moment when years of uncertainty finally give way to clarity.

Written as a quiet companion piece to earlier ARWR celebration tracks, this one isn’t about victory laps — it’s about standing still in awe as the “data deluge” finally arrives.
-----------------------
AFTER DESERT RAIN

We walked our charts in penciled lines
Through heat-wave hope and borrowed signs
The timelines cracked beneath our feet
We rationed trust to steady beats

No headlines bloomed in open skies
Just silent clouds and distant eyes
We traced the maps of promised gain
And learned to breathe through waiting pain

Then far-off footnotes felt the hum
Electric air — a storm to come
The stillness stirred, the silence strained
We felt the sky begin to change

Data deluge, falling free
From opened skies to “finally”
The numbers pour cascading down
They're washing doubt from worn-out ground

At last we crossed the desert plain
To gather in the desert rain
From dust-dry dots to crystal proof
The sky comes down with hard-won truth

We held the flame through muted years
While louder bets fed louder fears
They chased the flash — we stayed the flame
And wore belief to shield the blame

It’s the data deluge, rushing wide
Unbroken sheets on every side
Every signal streaming clear
The distant truth was always here

The hardest part was not the wait
But standing patient at the gate
Believing while belief wore thin
And experts warned us “don’t step in”

It’s the data deluge, shining bright
In mapped-out days and metric light
Every measure ringing true
Our "someday" now long overdue

From the data desert — to the flood
From bone-dry faith to running blood
From penciled hope to proven gain
We dance together in the rain

We waited through the barren plain
To stand and feel the desert rain
