about

originally conceived in response to Earth Day, this song speaks of acid rain, but in these days of climate change, it is still relevant, sadly

lyrics

RUN IN THE RAIN
words & music BY JOEL PIRARD



I RESPECT WHAT USED TO BE AND HOPE TO GOD THAT WE WILL SEE RETURN TO LIFE THAT WAS YIELDED UPON THIS GLORIOUS EARTH
I USED TO HOPE FOR LIFE ANEW IN LANDS THAT HAD BEEN SO ABUSED NOW I HOPE THAT WE WILL SEE THE SUNRISE AND REBIRTH

IT USED TO BE YOU'D SEE THE STARS AT NIGHT YOU'D SEE THE WORLDS AFAR
BUT NOW YOU CAN'T LOOK TO THE SKY THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO SEE

THE CLOUDS THAT MAKE UP OUR SKIES ARE YOURS AND MINE I WONDER WHY NO ONE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW IT MAKES US CRY

TO RUN TO RUN IN THE RAIN
TO RUN TO RUN IN THE RAIN

THE TIME HAS COME TO RECOGNIZE THAT ALL OUR FEARS WILL REALIZE
THE TRUTH BE KNOWN WE MUST STOP PLAYING WITH OUR LIVES
TO HELL WITH PROFITS WE MUST FIGHT IF NOT FOR OUR SAKES FOR THE RIGHT
OF OUR CHILDREN'S DREAMS, TO ONE DAY RUN OUT IN THE RAIN

TO RUN TO RUN IN THE RAIN
TO RUN TO RUN IN THE RAIN
