The need for Deluge

If only the rain could wash away all the world’s sadness,

If only it could wash away its confusion and its madness.

If only the rain could wash away all the blood that’s been spilled,

If only it could wash away the salt off of the wounded hearts so they could be healed.

If only the rain could wash away the bitter tears countless are crying,

If only it could stop the innocent ones from dying.

If only the rain could wash away diseases bringing sickness,

If only it would bring people strength and take a way weakness.

If only the rain could wash away the prison bonds of time, If only it could cleanse the world of every dirty penny, nickel and dime.

If only the rain could wash away all the lies people have bought and sold,

If only if could wash away, the greed for power, and for gold.

If only the rain could wash away sandcastles of illusion,

If only it could bring back tangibleness and take away delusion.

If only the rain could wash away the injustice, and all the hate,

Yes, if only it could, wouldn’t that be great?
