PRAYIN' FOR RAIN

THERE AIN’T BEEN RAIN FOR MONTHS LORD
WITH NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
I KNOW I HAVEN ‘T PRAYED IN DAYS
BUT I’VE PRAYED MOST EVERY NIGHT
IT’S GOT SO BAD EVEN HARD TIMES
WOULD SEEM A WELCOME CHANGE
OH LORD, SOMEBODY IS PRAYING FOR RAIN

THE NEIGHBOR’S DOG IS BARKING LORD
LIKE HE BEEN KICKED
THE SILENCE NEEDED BREAKING
BUT LORD; NOT LIKE THIS
WHAT’S LEFT OF ALL MY CROPS LORD
THEY’RE JUST DUST UPON THE PLAIN
OH LORD, SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY IS PRAYING FOR RAIN

I KNOW I’VE HELD MY HEAD UP LORD
TOO HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND
AND I KNOW I’VE SCOFFED AT OTHERS LORD
WHEN THEIR HARD TIMES CAME AROUND
I KNOW I AIN’T BEEN PERFECT LORD
NO MY FAULTS THEY’RE TRULY PLAIN
WHAT I DON’T KNOW LORD IS WHAT I’LL DO
WHAT WILL I DO LORD: IF YOU DON’T SEND RAIN

THE SUN CAME UP THIS MORNING
BURNED THIS DUSTY GROUND
AND I DREAMED OF DISTANT THUNDER LORD
WHERE THE RAIN CAME DOWN
WHERE THE RAIN CAME DOWN

I’M PRAYING FOR RAIN……
