Album: HEARTBEAT | Song lyrics to: HEAVEN SEND THE RAIN
"HEAVEN SEND THE RAIN"
Chorus
Let the heavens send the rain on the desert,
Heaven send the rain.
Let the heavens send the rain on the desert,
Heaven send the rain.
Verse 1
The decked-out priests in there fancy robes,
Vestments of red & expensive clothes,
Sucking at the labor & the hard work of the poor,
While they're filling up there pockets & demand for more.
Saying, "We've got rules & our traditions,
And that's the way we want to run our religion.
So do what we want & what we want you to do,
And if you don't like that, we'll lean hard on you."
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
I see a girl on a dusty road
From the land that they call Mexico,
Cryin' & tryin' as she reaches out a hand
To find someone to reach her land.
Can you hear him calling to come & help her now?
Because the lost there have been trodden & been beaten down.
He needs you to come & rescue them
Because the future of this land may well on you depend.
[Alternative Chorus]
Heaven send the rain,
Oh, come send the rain.
Heaven send the rain,
Oh, come send the rain.
