ou know, if only I had one magic wish (one magic wish) I would wish for no fortune or no fame, no Gives us (?) more life, more love, more prosperity, yeah”
Oh, yeah yah Oh, I really wish it would rain (I wish it would rain) Then maybe it would wash away my pain I’m feeling in my soul I pray my sorrows will be long gone (long gone) Long gone (long gone) Before the sun rise in the morn Oh, I wish it would rain (I wish it would rain) Then maybe it would wash away my pain I’m feeling in my soul I pray my sorrows will be long gone (long gone) Long gone (long gone) Before the sun rise in the morn
All of my days seems so sad and blue Need them to be sunny and bright All of these heartaches Pain and sorrows Just keep giving us a fight I’m always pretending white is black Black is white Black is white, oh I teach them love Still they fight I try to imagine Night is day Day is night Day is night Sometimes I forget my whole life
And so I wish it would rain (I wish it would rain) Then maybe it would wash away my pain I’m feeling in my soul I pray my sorrows will be long long gone Long long gone Before the sun rise in the morn
People dying Children crying And they have nowhere to run (they have nowhere to run) In the city, it’s a shame and pity We can’t seem to have any fun (can’t have no fun, no no no) But Lord I am hoping You know I am praying To be in the valley of the sun (where the sun shines so bright) But I heard the mother scream (I heard the mother scream) And I saw a young man fail (?) There goes another victim to the gun
And so I wish it would rain (I wish it would rain) Then maybe it would wash away my pain I’m feeling in my soul I pray my sorrows will be long long gone Long long gone Before the sun rise in the morn Rise in the morning (rise in the morning) Rise in the morn (rise in the morn) Rise in the morning (rise in the morning)
Cause it’s a bloodshed Born in the ghetto It’s a bloodshed Everywhere I go But all the tears we cry Won’t ease the sorrow We’ll just have to hope and wish and pray For a better tomorrow
So I really wish it would rain (I wish it would rain) Then maybe it will wash away my pain I’m feeling in my soul I pray my sorrows will be long gone (long gone) Long gone (long gone) Before the sun rise in the morn
Oh, I wish it would rain (I wish it would rain) Then maybe it would wash away my pain I’m feeling in my soul I pray my sorrows will be long long gone Long long gone Before the sun rise in the morn Rise in the morning (rise in the morning) Rise in the morn (rise in the morn) Rise in the morning (rise in the morning) Rise in the morn Rise in the morning
