RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
The Cleansing (Let it Rain)
Day after day the rain falls
As if to make up for lost time
As if all the world was parched
In desperate need of cleansing
Let it rain
If only we could cleanse the world
Of hatred, greed and vengeance
If only the rain would wipe away
Sorrow, pain and hopelessness
If only the great cleansing could
Sweep all weapons of war into
The deep of the deepest sea
If only the rain could cleanse
The soul of every man and woman
Until the world itself was made anew
But the world does not work that way
It follows the laws of nature
Who knows? Maybe the laws will
Bend for the great cleansing
Let it rain
