[Chorus]
Dm This is a rainy land Dm This is a rainy land Dm No thunder in our sky Dm No trees stretching high Dm But this is a rainy land [Verse]
Dm My name is Yami Lester C I hear I talk I touch but
I am blind Dm My story comes from darkness C Listen to my story now unwind Dm This is a rainy land Dm First we heard two big bangs C We thought it was the great
snake digging holes Dm Then we saw the big cloud C Then the big black mist began to roll Dm This is a rainy land Dm A strangeness on our skin C A soreness in our eyes
like weeping fire Dm A pox upon our skin C A boulder on our backs
all our lives Dm This is a rainy land [Chorus]
Dm This is a rainy land Dm No thunder in our sky Dm No trees stretching high Dm But this is a rainy land [Verse]
Dm My name is Millipuddy C They captured me and
roughly washed me down Dm Then my child stopped kicking C Then they took away my man to town Dm They said do you speak English? [Bridge]
He said Dm I know that Jesus loves me
I know Dm Because the bible tells me so Dm I know that Jesus loves me
I know Dm Because the bible tells me so [Chorus]
Dm This is a rainy land Dm This is a rainy land Dm No thunder in our sky Dm No trees stretching high Dm But this is a rainy land
