A Rain Of Angels Lyrics - Singles - Lila Mccann

He prays for the harvest to bring a record yield 

Five generations counting on his work out in these fields 

The only life he knows is the soil that he tills 

And if the drought don't take it all, he knows the banker will 

He's waiting for a rain of angels 

To turn these dusty acres back to a fertile plain 

Reward him for his labor, put his life back in his hands 

He's waiting for a rain of angels 

Somewhere in the city in the hours before dawn 

She huddles in a doorway to dream her hunger gone 

Forgotten by the cold world, frightened by her own 

She sips a little whiskey to forget she is alone 

She's waiting for a rain of angels 

To lift her from the shadows to give her back her name 

Turn back all the pages, give her shelter from the storm 

She's waiting for a rain of angels 

And all the places where the battle lines are drawn 

When the bullets fly it doesn't matter what side you're standing on 

Give the farmer back his land, pull the helpless from the street 

Now take the guns out of our hands and we will be within the angel's reach 

Call down through the ages 

Wash away the pain, only love will remain 

We're all waiting for 

Still waiting for a rain of angels 

Waiting for a rain of angels 

Waiting for a rain of angels 

We're waiting for a rain of angels
