[Verse 1]
Ease my spirit (ba-da), ease my soul
Please free my hands (ba-da) from this barren soil
Ease my mother (ba-da), ease my child
Earth and sky (ba-da) be reconciled

[Pre-Chorus]
Ease my spirit (ba-da), ease my soul
Please free my hands (ba-da) from this barren soil (ooh-ooh)
Ease my mother (ba-da), ease my child
Earth and sky (ba-da) be reconciled

[Chorus]
Rain, rain, rain (rain)
Rain, rain, rain (rain)
Weave, my mother, weave, my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild
Weave, my mother, weave, my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Out of heat, under sun
Comes the hunger to everyone
Famine’s teeth, famine’s claw
On the sands of Africa
[Chorus]
Rain, rain, rain (rain)
Rain, rain, rain (rain)
Weave, my mother, weave, my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild
Weave, my mother, weave, my child
Weave your baskets of rushes wild
Rain, rain, rain (rain)
Rain, rain, rain (rain)
Rain
