I Won't Leave Their Children

V6

[Verse 1 — rolling bass] I borrowed Chahk's electric rain To fill your rivers once again A thousand clouds above your door You ask why one refused to pour [Pre-Chorus — rising percussion] Beyond the hills my fields are dust I gave away the rain I loved [Chorus — driving polyrhythm] Thunder! Thunder! (Boom-ka-tss) Everybody drinks but me I fill your lakes, you count the drought And wonder what I'm sad about I'd break the sky and start the weather With a world that's mine to grow But villages drink from these rivers And I won't leave their children low [Verse 2 — jazzy break] You want the lightning without fear The harvest without waiting years [Bridge — quiet piano] My garden dreams of even one Small cloud that doesn't owe the sun [Outro — layered vocals] (Rain on me, rain on me) I raise the storm, then let it pass Across the fields that aren't mine
