Sometimes the rain comes But it doesn't stay Sometimes the clouds blow away It's a great big world Who knows the plan? Don't ask me, friend, I'm just a man But the rain it falls on you and me Not sure how it knows just where to be Sometimes it rains to shut me in But I know Sometimes it rains to set me free What does it all mean Who will explain it to the children As they grow into the pain of adulthood And ambiguity Will they remain as silent as we Or will they scream And their screams be drowned out By the rain I saw children playing in the park today Unaware that halfway round the world Children are being ruthlessly blown away By cluster bombs, missiles and makeshift drones And the President thinks it's funny He said they enjoy the reveree He said it's all part of the game He hasn't the slightest concern For their excruciating pain He's incapable of empathy Meanwhile his Zionist sycophant supporters cheer And sing about fulfillment of prophecy It's all written in the holy book They joyously proclaim I wanna shout back at them how wrong, Beyond deceived and twisted they've became! But media narratives roar like the wind I can scream at them, but they won't hear a thing What does it all mean Who will explain it to the children Who never grew into adulthood Can you explain How we continue to remain silent As they scream And their screams are drowned out By the rain of bullets and bombs As they wander desolate streets Looking for their dads and moms I'll punch the clock at my nine to five And find another reason to complain About the weekend coming And the plans I made are ruined Cause the weatherman says One hundred percent chance for rain And the rain will fall on you and me And wash away the plans we made We could stay inside and watch the news But that's so depressing Sometimes I don't understand anything about the rain But I suppose Everything is meant to be Maybe the rain will fall on them And one fire quenched suddenly Means one little child won't die today In hope for this I hesitate The weight of it all, it crushes me As I drown in existential misery Helpless to do anything, Maybe it rains to set me free. Maybe it rains to set me free.
