Dark Clouds

It's been hot for so long The wells have run dry The earth cracked open My crops have withered I can feel the sun so close Im soaked up without much work And my tongue is thirsty for a drop It reminds me of my heart Wanting and thirsting for so much more Dry and empty, lacking in love Love to be given or received And for the first time I don’t want clear skies or sunny days Every day of it cracks my heart even more The land is dry The people are hungry The heart is grieved For so much want But as our hearts give up We surrender ourselves to death I think this is our fate But now I see a heavy sky I see only dark clouds It's going to be an outpouring For my heart and my crops So for our sake I do hope it has come to stay The dark clouds I mean
