The Rain Must Fall

The Rain Must Fall

Planes are falling and still no rain falling
Bombs are falling and still no rain falling
Heroes are falling and still no rain falling
Buildings are falling and still no rain falling
Fees are falling and still no rain falling
Business is falling and still no rain in sight
Tears are falling and still no rain in sight
Hatred is falling and still no rain in sight
Panties are falling and babies are born
And still no rain falling
Somebody anybody everybody please
Cry me a river to water my garden
So that babies born today can eat
The rain must fall

You are right, the rain must fall, for without it there would be no growth from tragedy.
