Make It Rain Lyrics

When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine pure as the canes
Even though
I know this fire brings me pain
Even so
And just the same

Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Just make it rain
Make it rain

Well the seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hard
And the hunger more profound
Well I know there can come tears from their eyes
But they may as well be in vain
And even though
I know these tears bring me pain
Even so
And just the same

Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Just make it rain
Make it rain

The seas are full of water
it stops by the shore
Just like the riches of grandeur
That never reach the port
And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightening be the veins
The stillest sky with all they can draw
With its time, and make a change

Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Just make it rain
Make it rain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Life can be something beautiful, but we find ourselves unable to make it happen. Lord, make it rain. Make it Rain with its Spiritual/blues style seems to be a song asking for purification, for the sins of my father, for the pains suffered, the hunger, the tears - wash it all away and make it rain. When things have gone wrong, we need to know that there's hope, that we can start over, that we can make a change. Life can be something beautiful, but we find ourselves unable to make it happen. Lord, make it rain.
