The sky look misty and cloudy
Looks like rain's gonna fall today

This morning I have been soaked in mercy
Waiting for the rain to drop the water Lord

Oh Lord... ye

Some are hungry men
And I don't wanna be angry
Send down the rain
Water up my seed ye...

Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain

Everything in Life has got it's time and season
So you don't have to ask me why
You don't expect to sow cassava
And reap up cocoyam

You don't expect to sow rice
And reap up cassava

Whatever a man sows in this world
They must surely reap

Some are living bad
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain

Papa Papa papayo,

Send down the rain

Mama mama mamayo,
Yaga yaga yagayo, send down the rain

Jah is my song and that's make me to be so strong
Jah is my song and that's make me feel so strong
No matter what they say
Even if they say I'm wrong
I'm gonna feel strong
Cos I know I'm gonna live long

Oh Lord...

Some are living bad
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain

Papa Papa mamayo,
Yaga yaga yagayo, send down the rain

Mama mama mamayo,
Yaga yaga yagayo, send down the rain

Some are living bad
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain

Jah is my song and that's make me to be so strong
Mama mama mamayo,
Yaga yaga yagayo, send down the rain
