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

Till we find the purest of kings

and even though I know this fire
brings me pain

Even so, I'm 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 rain

The 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 their eyes

But they may as well be in vain

Even though I know these tears
come with pain

Even so, I'm 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 rain

And the seas are full of water

Stops by the shore

Just like the riches of grandeur

Oh, no no, never reach the poor

And let the clouds
fill with thunderous applause

And let lightning be the veins

Fill the sky with all they can drop

When it's time to make a change

Make 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
