Song language: English
The Rain |
| Sun beats down on this thirsting land |
| Burning my will away |
| It’s many a mile from the eastern shore |
| And the hope I felt that day |
| We crossed the sea from the old country |
| To the promised land we came |
| Then we headed west on a thankless quest |
| To the place we staked our claim |
| Now the eagle that’s circling overhead, he |
| knows my name |
| 'Cause the only thing plentiful here is the |
| dust on the plain |
| Until God brings the rain |
| Wasn’t always this way, back in the day |
| All life sprang from this ground |
| But like a slow-burning curse every year’s |
| gotten worse |
| So someday it must turn around |
| As the wagons are rolling on out they call |
| me insane |
| But I’m not gonna let this land break me, |
| I’ll be staying |
| Until God brings the rain |
| God help me |
| Don’t you forsake me this way |
| Am I nothing to you? |
| How much suffering |
| must I stand in your name? |
| I’m only asking for rain |
| The sun sits high in a cruel blue sky |
| Mocking me every day |
| Last night I cried when a storm passed by |
| About fifteen miles away |
| In a dream I saw the coast once more |
| And I walked into the sea |
| I’d have been happy to die as that moment |
| passed by |
| But I woke to this misery |
| And the way things are going |
| I don’t know how much more I can take |
| I’m no kind of quitter but how long can any |
| man wait |
| How long must I wait |
| Until God brings the rain? |
