Story behind the song
Stand in the rain was written around the time of escalated conflit in Iraq and Afghanistan as the US invaded those countries under the false guise of 'pre-emptive stike' what crap! Anyway, this song is basically a snapshot of the war raveged palaces across the globe. Hope it moves you. AE.
Lyrics
Stand in the Rain Verse 1 I stand in the rain pouring down on me Racking my brain thinking what do I see? Death and destruction from Russian to Russian From US led coalition to Pakistani malicia Kids as terrorists strapped to bombs Mom tell me where we went go wrong And all these missions in the name religions All I see bullets I don't see any pigeons So many Martyrs, so many children dead When will the leaders of the world get a hint Violence isn't working try something else instead Only through peace can we ever get ahead So I lift my head to pray and say What's going on with the world today We're weak with greed and wrongly strong? This has been going on for too long? Verse 2 As I shake the beads of rain off my face I shake my head at the human race And think about what we've done to this place In a neverending chase we call the rat race Wars and corruption, assasinations, abductions Pillaging and rape, and political red tape What have we learned from our history books? That the planet today, the way that it looks Hasn't changed all that much I mean sure mobile phones, Inter-net and such to keep us in touch The empire still reins, it's a pain, what a shame we Allow our minds to be brainwashed down the drain I lift my head to the rain and pray and say What's going on with the world today Stop this violence stop this hate Learn to love again to relate Alias Everest 23-10-04 5:48pm
