Make it Rain

When the sins of my father

Way down in my soul

And the pain of my mother

Oh it will not let me go

Well I know there can come fire from the sky

To refine the purest of kings

Even though I know this fire brings me pain

Even so and just the same

Make it rain

Make it rain down on me

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down on me

Make it rain

Make it rain

Now the seed needs the water

To grow up from the ground

But it just keeps on getting harder

Oh the hunger more profound

Well I know there can come tears from the eyes

But the may as well be in vein

'Cause even though I know these tears cause me pain

Even so and just the same

Make it rain

Make it rain down on me

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Rain down on me

Make it rain

Make it rain

Now the seas fill with water

It stops by the shore

It's like the riches of grander

Hope they never reach the poor

So let the sky fill with thunderous applause

And let lighting be the veins

To fill the sky with all that they control

When it's time make all change

Make it rain

Lord, make it rain down on me

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Rain

Rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Please, Lord
