VERSE 1.
Another cross
On another grave
Another infected
Baby to save
Her cries pierce the silence
As they lay her mamma down
She's just the first of many today
In this forgotten Botswana town
CHORUS.
No hope to speak of
No help on the way
No oil in the ground
That would send any help their way
No hope to speak of
No help on the way
No oil in the ground
No oil in the ground
VERSE 2.
Ebony skin
On a cotton shroud
The sun comes up
Through lavender clouds
Her cries pierce the silence
As they lay here daddy down
He's just the first of many today
In this abandoned Botswana town
CHORUS.
BRIDGE.
It's approaching from the distance
I can feel it everywhere
The storm is descending quickly
Dark clouds of despair
It's only rain!
It's only rain!
