As far back as you can remember You've been living in a drought The rain comes pouring down But the sunshine dries it out So you walk outside your house And look up at the sky As you stare at all the clouds You begin to wonder why And you ask the clouds to, "Please Give the rain a message, If he would like to rain upon this land I'd gladly give him passage" And the cloud gives him your message But he does not ease your pain For no matter how hard you try You cannot please the rain
