Every time I pray The fear of failure pours down on me Once my heart is strained I never feel like going out People call and say They wish that they could come and help me I tell them i'm OK And crawl back in my bed There's not much left to do but PRAY FOR RAIN We could use a storm of two every day You don't comprehend The slightest things that might affect me World keeps marching on And I can't help but get upset Left here by myself There's no tears that will be falling Nothing more than dirt and dust Nothing left at all I don't know who what else to do but PRAY FOR RAIN I could write a song for you to ease the strain There's not much left to do but PRAY FOR RAIN We could use a storm or two every day I need you, release me Make me feel again, PRAY FOR RAIN I need you, release me Make me feel again, PRAY FOR RAIN I need you, release me Make me feel again, PRAY FOR RAIN I need you, release me Make me feel again, PRAY FOR RAIN
