Rainman
Rainman! Rainman!
Make it rain.
Tear my heart and
Wash away my stains.
Rainman! Rainman!
Where have you gone?
The heat is
abrasive,
And I've waited for
too long.
It happened when he
believed,
It Didn't when he
didn't.
Some said it was
God's wrath,
Some, a product of
his sins.
Disdained he sat
under a tree,
With eyes drowned in
misery,
He looked all
around,
Not a green in
sight,
Not a bird in sound.
It had been years,
He blamed himself
for all;
Not a drop to drink,
Dried stood the
waterfall.
Rainman! Rainman!
It is not your
fault.
Clasp your hand in
prayer,
Get this heat to
halt!
Rainman! Rainman!
The ground can offer
water no more.
The crops have
dried, wise men fight,
Your powers have
become a lore!
He clasped his hand
in prayer,
Like yesterday and
the day before;
He swung out his
trident,
And danced till his
feet were sore.
I do what you ask
for,
No, I do so much
more;
Why do you not see?
My people scream and
hurt,
My children lost for
glee.
But the Gods did not
speak,
Like they had been
doing for so long;
He knew not what to
do,
He knew not what
went wrong.
Rainman! Rainman!
Come to my rescue.
My soul is breaking
down,
My face melts in
lieu.
Rainman! Rainman!
Pour down the ocean.
You are not weak,
you are loved by me,
Now set the world to
motion.
And that is all he
needed,
A word of affection
or two;
Had his people
realised it sooner,
This trauma they
wouldn't suffer through.
So now in faith,
He took his stage,
His trident pointed
the Gods;
I order rain, this
time i beg not
And rain came
pouring, just as I'd thought.
The children came
out dancing,
The fathers followed
them too;
They realised the
fault in them,
And they now knew
what love could do.
