let it rain

as the day reaches an end,
the heat, more than i can bear,
the earth, dry.
the sun has scorched,
burning, frying, drying..
now hear the cry,
how she longs...
let it rain.

break the silence,
break the pain,
break the heat
that's breaking me.

slowly, surely,
the rain it falls,
sporadic at first,
drops, full and heavy
one by one, they slowly come,
and then, the clouds they cannot hold;
let it rain,
let it rain,
let it rain.
