Rain, rain river
I watch your endless fall
Wash away the barren lands
Deepen the ragged coast

Rain, rain river
Delve deep into the earth
Cleanse the roots that lie there
And spit out all the dirt.

My lips are dry, my mouth is numb
Envy and spite have poisoned my tongue
I’ve fallen speechless, I cannot explain
My heart is parched
So bring down the rain

Rain, rain river,
How deep can water reach
To wash out all the slanders
That pass themselves as speech?

My lips are dry, my mouth is numb
Envy and spite have poisoned my tongue
I’ve fallen speechless, I cannot explain
My heart is parched
So bring down the rain

Rain, rain river,
I watch your endless fall
A clear and crystal water
For every scattered soul.
