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 The seed needs the water To grow up from the ground But it just keeps on getting harder And the hunger more profound Well I know there can come tears from the eyes But they may as well be in vain Cuz 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, he eh 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 drop When it's time to make a change Make it rain, make it rain down on me Make it rain, make it rain Make it rain Make it rain down Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Please Lord
