When the sins of my father Weigh down in my soul And the pain of my mother Will not let me go Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings And even though I know this fire brings me pain Even so, and just the same
Make it rain Make it rain down, lord Make it rain Oh, make it rain Make it rain Make it rain down, lord Make it rain Make it rain
Well, a seed needs the water ÂŽFore it grows out of the ground But it just keeps on getting hard Hunger more profound Well, I know they canÂŽt count tears from the eye
But they may as well all be in vain And even though I know these tears come with pain Even so, and just the same
Make it rain Make it rain down, lord Make it rain Oh, make it rain Make it rain Make it rain down, lord Just make it rain Make it rain
Well, the seas are full of water Stops by the shore ItÂŽs like the riches of grandeur, oh no Never reach the poor And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightning be the veins But fill the sky with all that they can draw When itÂŽs time to make a change
[Chorus (Extended)] Make it rain Make it rain down, lord Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain down, lord Make it rain Oh, make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Oh, make it rain Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord Make it rain Oh, make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Oh, make it rain
Et la graine a besoin de lâeau Avant quâelle sorte de terre Mais il continue de faire plus chaud
Et la plus profonde faim Eh bien, je sais quâil peut couler des larmes de ses yeux Mais ça peut aussi ĂȘtre fait en vain Alors mĂȘme que Je sais que ces larmes mâapportent la douleur Pourtant Ăa ne change rien
Et la mer est pleine dâeau ArrĂȘter par la rive Comme la richesse du grandeur Qui nâatteint jamais le port
Ainsi laisse les applaudissements tonitruants Et laisse ta mort ĂȘtre des veines Et inonder le ciel Avec tout ce quâils peuvent laisser tomber Quand il est temps De changer
