Wring the Sweat out of your Shirt
A wall of heat down on you bores
enervates your every pore
The fiery sun you implore
‘Who can take this anymore’
Your heart is deadened, your brain is fried
There’s not enough fresh air to sigh
Wring the sweat out of your shirt
Hide your body’s baked-in dirt
But check outside, just in case
Hey, what’s this your arms embrace
Drops of rain now splash your cheek
A fresh wind blows from mountain’s peak
A moment ago you’d surrendered
Thanks to Heaven need be rendered
