My Prayer

I pray for the rain
To wash me away
Take the stain of my life
Take it away
Take my sorrow and sadness
And make it no more
Into pure white
Forever more

I pray for the rain
And it doesn’t come
A little bit longer
I still see the sun
Waiting for thunder
And lightning strike
To illuminate
An eternal light

I pray for the rain
And I close my eyes
Imagine a world
Not steeped in lies
A world free
Of hate and disdain
Washed clean by
The falling rain
