Mike Love - Let It Rain lyrics

[Chorus] Please Jah, let it rain Let it wash all this wickedness away So much sorrow, so much pain Let the sun come out to shine another day Please Jah, let it rain And if our roots are strong we will remain Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain [Verse 1] In the beginning there was only Love All was connected to the Most High above Every creature lived in harmony There was no language for the word enemy All animals were equal under Jah sun There was just enough food for everyone There were no squabbles and no ego trips There was no language for the word ownership Then along came mankind, eager to prove his worth and his might To conquer the land, conquer the seas, conquer the skies A god in his own eyes But be careful you build your house too high Standing on your tiptoes trying to touch the sky, you're gonna topple Look how your foundation crumble You had everything you could need, but you just couldn't keep it simple [Chorus] Please Jah, let it rain Let it wash all this wickedness away So much sorrow, so much pain Let the sun come out to shine another day Please Jah, let it rain And if our roots are strong we will remain Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain [Verse 2] How long will we wait for humanity to come around Is the gap too great to cross this divide and be reunited [Verse 3] I should have known it I should have seen it coming creeping like a shadow on my heart, hungry like a vampire I should have felt it Historically the signs were there for all to see, esoterically hidden in plain sight So gather your freedom and hold it tight, yeah we're gonna live it up tonight Follow me brother cause babylon never discover the treasure that we hold, oh no How long will we wait, open the doors of Zion gate We will suffer no more Can't you hear we knocking, knocking at your door How long will we wait Will we open the seventh and seal our fate Is the gap too great, to cross this divide and be reunited Cause they will never give up, 'til they s**ed every last drop of blood from out of our veins So we got only one choice, listen closely to my voice, we got to take back our freedom [Chorus] Please Jah, let it rain Let it wash all this wickedness away So much sorrow, so much pain Let the sun come out to shine another day Please Jah, let it rain And if our roots are strong we will remain Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
