It's Only Good Clean Water

Most people don't like rain
it gets you so extremely wet
if it's heavy, it goes through you
but it's not actually killed us yet

This rain descends from on high
coming down from the creator above
it's needed to bear a good harvest
its forecast may often call our bluff

Our rivers and oceans need their fill
as its waters flow downstream
falling into it can be dangerous
what a perilous picture this seems

But let's get back to pure water
it's so refreshingly cool to drink
it's really good for our body
to clean it out, some do think

God in HIs wisdom made rain
for all our profit and good
if we didn't have it, we'd be dry
bring the rain and put on your hood!

I sure agree with that! Now they're trying to put a huge data collection site near us and use up all that good rain water on data!
