Pray for Rain

Dust bowl dry - burning sun One more day of wasting winds It's our oblivion Settling here - was insane Nothing that we planted here remains on this dead plain We prayed for rain - On our knees, god we prayed for rain Everything - drying up Skinny kids out choking in the swirling wind and dust Hungry souls with tear stained eyes Crying for deliverence from From relentless, oakie skies We prayed for rain - again and again we prayed for rain Whats happening tonight Why is the sky so bright and full of pain Where is the god we prayed to In our desperate plight Let it rain, oh god let it pour
