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 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 low Just make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain down low Just make it rain Make it rain
And the seed needs the water Before it grows out of the ground But it just keeps on getting hotter And the hunger more profound Well I know there can come tears from their eyes But they may as well be in vain Even though I know these tears bring me pain Even so And just the same
Make it rain Make it rain down low Just make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain down low Just make it rain Make it rain
Make it rain (x8)
And the seas are full of water That stop by the shore Just like the riches of grandeur That never reach the port
So let the claps fill with thunderous applause And let thy death be the veins And fill the sky With all that they can drop When it's time To make a change
