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
