Anthony Stewart Head One Man`s Rain Lyrics

One Man`s Rain Lyrics

I saw a man sitting on a hillside
Watching the soil bake dry
Looking
across at the rain cloud forming
In another man's sky
As the sun beats
down, relentless
On his crops, withered and dying
While the raindrops
fall on the other man's land
One man's rain
The same desert, the same
God
And it only rains once a year
Why is one man blessed with
plenty
While the other's left to scratch in the dirt?
One man's rain,
means another man's famine
One man's sky is another man's earth
One man's
riches leave another man poorer
One man's temple mocks another man's
faith
One man's rain and another's land is barren
One man's gain leaves
another without
One man's palace and another's left homeless
One man's
faith is another man's doubt
What's wrong with killing something for
pleasure
If it's always been that way?
What's wrong with killing the
trees that help us breathe
Or tearing the sky?
For every action there's a
reaction
And on this planet, withered and dying
One of us plunders the
earth's resources and the rest suffer
One man's rain
We share the same
oceans, the same dying world
And the notion of supply and demand
Balance
in all things, nature's promise
We'll be left scratching in the dirt
