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.
