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, Lord 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

Every seed needs the water before it grows out of the ground

But it just keeps on getting hard, and the hunger more profound

Well, I know there can come tears from the eye, but they may as well be in vain

Even though I know these tears will bring me pain

Even so, Lord 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

Well, the sea is filled with water, stops by the shore

Just like the riches of grandeur never reach the poor

Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause, oh let 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

Make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain

Make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain
