A Little Rain

I’ve been feeling kind of dry The sun is burning in the sky I’ve been walking through the pain I’d love to feel a little rain I’ve been trudging many a mile Trying to hold on to my smile And though I don’t like to complain I’d love to feel a little rain. I’ve been feeling kind of parched I fear I’m starting to lose heart Let not my efforts be in vain I’d love to feel a little rain There is still so far to go How much further, I don’t know I’m losing much more than I gain I’d love to feel a little rain I’ll take the thunder and the lightning Though it seems so very frightening If it means moisture for the grain I’d love to feel a little rain I’ll take the clouds in any form I’ve weathered many a raging storm To soothe my heart, my soul, my brain I’d love to feel a little rain I’ve been dying deep inside The sun leaves no place I can hide Don’t know if I can take the strain I’d live to feel a little rain So, step by step and day by day I hike along my arid way My cross to bear, my ball and chain I’d love to feel a little rain. While I don’t mean to complain It all seems so inhumane But here I am, here I remain I’d love to feel a little rain.
