Let's Stop the Rain

The rain falls down
As the angels cry
Dripping their tears
From a darkened sky

They look upon Earth
With celestial shame
It's not what they thought
At the start of the game

So much destruction
And so much demise
That's why there's tears
In all of their eyes

A green and blue planet
That held so much hope
Is now being lost
To violence and dope

With carcinogens
Filling our lungs
We're climbing a ladder
With very few rungs

Lord help us all
To see what they see
Let's turn things around
And learn to be free

Stop all the fighting
In countries around
We all have a heart
That beats with a sound

Angels are watching
With darkening with fears
Let's not dissapoint
By drawing their tears

All can love one
And one can love all
Let's stop the rain
By heeding the call

Rockman  :-)
