When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me goWell I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings
And even though
I know this fire brings me pain
Even so
And just the same
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Make it rainOh, the seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hotter
And the hunger more profoundWell I know there can come tears from the eye
But they may as well all be in vain
And even though
I know these tears come with pain
Even so
And just the same
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Just make it rain
Make it rainOh, the seas are full of water
That stops by the shore
Just like the riches of grandeur
Oh, no no
Never reach the poorAnd let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightning be the veins
And fill the sky, with all that they can draw
When it's time to make a changeMake it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Oh, 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
