Lyrics

Pray for Rain

What’s in your head is not in mine
What’s in my heart is not in yours
You are the stranger in my eye
We are opposed — just because

The line’s been drawn, the blood’s been shed
There’s no such place as safe in bed
We never wanted any war
Now there’s one thing left worth hoping for

Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Forty days and forty nights
Might wash this mess away
The blood from our hands, the guts off our streets
The pain in our souls, from the river to the sea
We pray for rain

What if your heart beat just like mine?
What if you guessed what’s in my head?
What if you were — God strike me blind —
A friend who I’ve just never met?

They’ve drawn that line, they’ve shed that blood
All in the name of some greater good
We never wanted any war
Now there’s just one thing left worth hoping for

Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Forty days and forty nights
Might wash this mess away
The blood from our hands, the guts off our streets
The pain in all our souls, from the river to the sea
We pray for rain
