Rain

I was born in the middle of the morning

Late october but it’s burning like hell

Daddy worked through the indian summer

Mama smoked she can’t help herself

She threw her ashes on the dried up soil

The heat rising from the old asphalt

Made New Jersey feel like the Sahara

Begged for water and the chill of fall

So they prayed

But they prayed in vein

There’s no lightning, not a cloud in the sky

Fields are dying and the rivers run dry

So they prayed

You know they prayed for

RAIN

You know they prayed for

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

I woke up in the middle of the desert

Felt like moses on his 39th year

Sand in my mouth like glass to swallow

‘But I can’t cry a single tear

So I prayed

Yeah I prayed for days

There’s No lightning , not a cloud in the sky

Fields are dying and the rivers run dry

So I prayed

You know I prayed for

RAIN

You know I prayed for

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

I would stand in it

Wash my hands in it

Underneath the crying skies

I’d take a taste

‘till then I’ll wait

So I pray

So I prayed for

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
