I was born in the middle of the morning
Late october but it's burning like hell
Daddy worked through the indian summer
Mama smoked she can't help herself
She threw her ashes on the dried up soil
The heat rising from the old asphalt
Made New Jersey feel like the Sahara
Begged for water and the chill of fall
So they prayed
But they prayed in vein
There's no lightning, not a cloud in the sky
Fields are dying and the rivers run dry
So they prayed
You know they prayed for
RAIN
You know they prayed for
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
I woke up in the middle of the desert
Felt like moses on his 39th year
Sand in my mouth like glass to swallow
'But I can't cry a single tear
So I prayed
Yeah I prayed for days
There's No lightning , not a cloud in the sky
Fields are dying and the rivers run dry
So I prayed
You know I prayed for
RAIN
You know I prayed for
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
I would stand in it
Wash my hands in it
Underneath the crying skies
I'd take a taste
'till then I'll wait
So I pray
So I prayed for
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN , RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN , RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
Rain
