Make It Rain

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, 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 seeds need the water

Before it grow out of the ground

But it just keeps on gettin' harder

And the hunger more profound

Let the clouds fill up with thunderous applause

And lightning be the veins

Fill the 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

That stops by the shore

Just like the riches of grandeur

Never reach the poor

Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause

And lightning be the veins

Fills the 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

Oh, make it rain, make it rain down

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain
