Lyrics:
Heat haze rising on hell's own hill To wake up this morning is an act of will Walk through the night to get here today To bring your children, to give them away Oh, oh, this cruel sun, is daylight never done? Cruelty just begun to make a shadow of everyone And if the rain came And if the rain came now Souls bent over without a breeze Blankets on burning trees I am sick without disease Nobility on it's knees And if the rain came And if the rain came, now Would it wash us all away on a wave of sorrow? Wave, wave of sorrow Where now the holy cities? Where are the ancient holy scrolls? Where now Emperor Menelek and Queen of Sheba's gold? You, my bride wear a crown, on your finger, precious stone As every good thing now been sold Son, of shepherd boy, now king What wisdom can you bring? What lyric could you sing? Where is the music of the Seraphim? And if the rain came And if the rain came, now Would it wash us all away, on a wave of sorrow? Wave, on a wave of sorrow, wave Blessed are the meek who scratch in the dirt For they shall inherit what's left of the earth Blessed are the kings who have left their thrones They are blessed in this valley of dry bones Blessed all of you with an empty heart For you have nothing from which you cannot part Blessed is the ego if it's all we got this hour Blessed is the voice that speaks truth to power Blessed is the sex worker's body sold tonight She works for what she's got to save her children's life Blessed are the deaf who cannot hear a scream Blessed are the stupid who can dream Blessed are the tin can, cardboard slums And blessed is the spirit that overcomes
