Every Drop Of Rain (feat. Candie Payne & St. Vincent)
"Every Drop Of Rain"
[Estrella:] I was just a young girl A girl with curly hair Your mother called me family I became quite close to her
I handled all the money Washed the clothes and made the meals In the night she’d wake up screaming So you children slept with me
[Estrella & Imelda:] They called us garage people Where we lived there, you and me When you’re poor — it’s like you’re naked And every drop of rain you feel
[Estrella:] When it rained we slept on boxes There was water all around
[Imelda:] But the people in the big house Never bothered to find out No clothes, no bed, no jewelry Sometimes I had no shoes
[Estrella:] A typhoon came — the house collapsed And the neighbors passed us food
[Estrella & Imelda:] They called us garage people Where we lived there, you and me When you’re poor — it’s like you’re naked And every drop of rain you feel
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain
[Estrella:] I handled our finances I myself was never paid
[Imelda:] My teachers paid a visit I felt, felt so ashamed
But I had kept my dignity Some things cannot be killed
I smiled and kept my head up A Romualdez I was still
[Estrella & Imelda:] Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain Every little tiny drop of rain you feel — every drop of rain
