Life just gives you day by day
And don't ask for more parting
Life just gives you a smile some days
And you'll keep on parting day by day

Give me rain, oh Lord, rain
That's the way to help me through
To take the pain away from me
From my chest. Oh Lord, give me rain

Give me strength, oh Lord, please strength
Though the pain will ban my way
Give me strength, oh Lord, please strength
'Cause I need that so bad

Give me grains, oh Lord, please grains
Though the pain will ban my way
Give me grains, oh Lord, please grains
'Cause we need that so bad

Give us rain, oh Lord rain
For our roots to grow again
Take the pain away from us
'Cause we need that so bad
