A Rain Of Angels Lyrics

A Rain Of Angels lyrics

(Michael Dulaney/Jannie Littlepage)

He prays for the harvest
To bring a record yield
Five generations counting
On his work out in these fields
The only life he knows
Is the soil that he tills
And if the drought don`t take it all
He knows the banker will

He`s waiting for a rain of angels
To turn these dusty acres
Back to a fertle plain
Reward him for his labor
Put his life back in his hands
He`s waiting for a rain of angels

Somewhere in the city
In the hours before dawn
She huddles in a doorway
To dream her hunger gone
Forgotten by the cold world
Frightened by her own
She sips a little whiskey
To forget she is alone

She`s waiting for a rain of angels
To lift her from the shadows
To give her back her name
Turn back all the pages
Give her shelter from the storm
She`s waiting for a rain of angels

And all the places where the battle lines are drawn
When the bullets fly
It doesn`t matter what side you`re standing on
Give the farmer back his land
Pull the helpless from the street
Take the guns out of our hands
And we will be within the angel`s reach

Call down through the ages
Wash away the pain
Only love will remain
We`re all waiting for
Still waiting for a rain of angels

Waiting for a rain of angels
Waiting for a rain of angels
Waiting for a rain of angels
