Make it Rain

When the sins of my father Weigh 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 they may as well be in vain '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 Oh, hey *Instrumental* Now the seas fill with water That stops by the shore It's like the riches of grandeur Oh, they never reach the port So let the sky fill with thunderous applause And let lightning be the veins To fill the sky with all that they can draw When it's time to make a change Make it rain, Lord make it rain down on me Make it rain, make it rain Make it rain Make it rain oh, make it rain, rain Rain Make it rain Ooooooo Make it rain Ooooo Please Lord
