Something in the Rain -Tish Hinojosa |

Mom and dad have worked the fields |
| [00:30.739] |
I don't know how many years |
| [00:36.354] |
I'm just a boy but I know how |
| [00:42.226] |
And go to school when work is slow |
| [00:48.465] |
We have seen our country's roads |
| [00:54.586] |
Bakersfield to Illinois |
| [01:00.344] |
And when troubles come our way |
| [01:05.469] |
Oh yeah I've seen my daddy pray |
| [01:12.135] |
There's something wrong with little sister |
| [01:18.266] |
I hear her crying by my side |
| [01:24.671] |
Mama's shaking as she holds her |
| [01:30.155] |
We try to hold her through the night |
| [01:36.192] |
And mom says close you eyes mijito |
| [01:42.332] |
Dream of someplace far from here |
| [01:48.351] |
Like the pictures in your schoolbooks |
| [01:54.167] |
Someday you can take us there |
| [02:00.233] |
There must be something in the rain |
| [02:06.216] |
I'm not sure just what that means |
| [02:12.413] |
Angelita talks of sins of man |
| [02:17.588] |
Of dust that's in our hands |
| [02:23.965] |
There must be something in the rain |
| [02:30.268] |
Well what else could cause this pain |
| [02:36.229] |
Those airplanes cure the plants so things can grow |
| [02:42.434] |
Oh no it must be something in the rain |
| [03:12.299] |
Little sister's gone away |
| [03:18.223] |
Mama's working long again |
| [03:23.975] |
And me I think I understand |
| [03:30.422] |
About our life about our land |
| [03:36.19] |
Well talkers talk and dreamers dream |
| [03:41.819] |
I will find a place between |
| [03:48.678] |
I'm afraid but I believe |
| [03:53.908] |
That we can change these hurting fields |
| [04:00.204] |
'Cause there's something in the rain |
| [04:06.13] |
But there's more here in our hands |
| [04:12.179] |
Buelita's right about the sins of man |
| [04:16.977] |
Who's profits rape the land |
| [04:24.122] |
And the rains are pouring down |
| [04:29.969] |
From the growers to the towns |
| [04:36.23] |
And until we break the killing chains |
| [04:40.998] |
There's something in the rain |
