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? |
