When the sins of my father weigh down in my soul

And the pain of my mother will not let me go

Well, I know there can't come fire from the sky

To refine the purest of canes

Even though I know this fire brings me pain

Even so, it's just the same

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

The seed needs the water for it grow out of the ground

It just keeps getting harder, the hunger more profound

Let the clouds fill up with thunderous applause

The lightning be the veins

Fill that sky with all that they can draw

When it's time to make a change

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

The world's full of water

Stops by the shore

Just like the riches of grandeur

It never reach the port

Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause

The lightning be the veins

Fill the sky with all that they can draw

And when it's time to make a change

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Oh make it rain, make it rain down, oh

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain
