I sit here watching the drops fall 
It’s not raining, it’s the tears of my heart, 
 
Celebrities, “Heroes,” wistfully recounting 
Proud moments of debauchery in their youth, 
Coliseums are built ever higher 
Where the world watches the newest 
Gladiators breaking their bodies for our pleasure, 
Movies imitate life, ever more graphic 
Displays of blood and flesh ripping destruction, 
Drawing cheers of approval, as war rages 
Right outside their very doors, 
Despair, pain, and death! in every direction 
 
Storms rage across the planet 
It’s not drought, it’s the drying up of hope, 
It’s not thunder, it’s me screaming to the world, 
It’s not raining, 
It’s the tears of my heart!

It's Not Raining
