[Intro: rain percussion, rolling fretless bass] [Verse 1: gentle melodic groove] When the rain was falling heavy I put buckets underneath Didn't need another river Running past my own two feet When the summer turned to dust My neighbor's garden couldn't grow So I carried what I'd gathered Down the road [Pre-Chorus: rising guitar harmony] A little overflow today Can keep another drought away [Chorus: soaring layered vocals] Let your heart become a rain barrel Save a little when it pours When the dry days find somebody Bring the water to their door If your cup is overflowing There's a thousand things to do You can turn a little extra Into something someone needs [Break: 138 BPM bass polyrhythm, tom fills] [Verse 2: rhythmic baritone] An extra coat, a bag of food A ride when someone needs to move I don't need to make a show Of giving what I can let go [Bridge: half-time, intimate] Abundance has a purpose Beyond collecting what we own [Final Chorus: epic vocal harmonies] Let the rain become a river Running where the ground is dry A kinder world is watered By the things we choose to share [Outro: rain fades into arpeggios]
