Use a Little Rain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun should always shine down on the dreamer
But it looks like hard rain's gonna fall
All our hopes are dark and clouded over
It may take some rain to make some sense out of it all
The world can be so hard on its believers
The hopeful hearts, they're always full of fear
It may take some rain to start all over
Heaven knows we need a few more dreamers around here
We could use a little rain right now
To wash away these doubts
To clean our spirits out
Clear a sky for weary souls
We could use a whole new start
To rip these skies apart
To feed the seed in every hopeful heart of gold
So I dream of rain
We could use a little rain
I pray that the day is soon in coming
That we'll wash these stains of sorrow off our land
Cut a trail the sun could come down shining
For all the dreamers left brave enough to make a stand
We could use a little rain right now
To wash away these doubts
To clean our spirits out
Clear a sky for weary souls
We could use a whole new start
To rip these skies apart
To feed the seed in every hopeful heart of gold
So I dream of rain
We could use a little rain
