blistering scorching heatwave
all eyes turn heavenward
seeking that illusive rain cloud
amongst the endless blue
swirling dust on parched dry earth
riverbeds begin to show
yet again eyes cast to distant horizon
still yet nothing that tells of rain
from dawn to dusk the air is heavy
humidity makes my hair all frizzy
my movements are lumbering and heavy
as the fan swirls back not cool but hot air
Dear God I pray at night
Sweet showers of blessings send tonight
That on the morrow I may awaken
drenched not in perspiration
was that a distant thunder that I heard?
was that a flash of hinting lightening?
Oh joy I hear the first pitter patter
as the thirsting earth welcomes those first drops
dry cracks like starving children greedily soak
smiles cross many tired weary faces
like rebirth; oh beautiful rain
you cool the earth and put song in my heart
like a magic wand you life my spirits
and soon the world is silenced by music from the skies
all eyes turn heavenward
seeking that illusive rain cloud
amongst the endless blue
swirling dust on parched dry earth
riverbeds begin to show
yet again eyes cast to distant horizon
still yet nothing that tells of rain
from dawn to dusk the air is heavy
humidity makes my hair all frizzy
my movements are lumbering and heavy
as the fan swirls back not cool but hot air
Dear God I pray at night
Sweet showers of blessings send tonight
That on the morrow I may awaken
drenched not in perspiration
was that a distant thunder that I heard?
was that a flash of hinting lightening?
Oh joy I hear the first pitter patter
as the thirsting earth welcomes those first drops
dry cracks like starving children greedily soak
smiles cross many tired weary faces
like rebirth; oh beautiful rain
you cool the earth and put song in my heart
like a magic wand you life my spirits
and soon the world is silenced by music from the skies
