Wanting the rain to fade away
We all walk the line
The line
The line that wraps around the world
Rain comes to us all
Everyone in America
Everyone in Afghanistan
Everyone in Ghana
Everyone in Burma
Why can't we sit back and enjoy the ride?
Enjoy the food given to us
Whether the food comes from the apple tree, the microwave, the charity support given to our people
Why does tragedy have to hit?
From the flood of Pakistan and tsunamis of Thailand
To the missed homework assignment in class
Wanting the rain to fade away
We all walk the line
People fighting
Wanting the rain to fade away
We all walk the line
The line
The line that wraps around the world
Rain comes to us all
Everyone in America
Everyone in Afghanistan
Everyone in Ghana
Everyone in Burma
Why can't we sit back and enjoy the ride?
Enjoy the food given to us

We all walk the line
The line
The line that wraps around the world
Rain comes to us all
Everyone in America
Everyone in Afghanistan
Everyone in Ghana
Everyone in Burma
Why can't we sit back and enjoy the ride?
People fighting
For land, oil
For respect
And those who protect
From that of pearl harbor
Of that of revenge
How can we just relax and live
When there is eruption of the clans
The clans the surround us all, everyday, in different forms
Wanting the rain to fade away
We all walk the line
The line
The line that wraps around the world
Rain comes to us all
Everyone in America
Everyone in Afghanistan
Everyone in Ghana
Everyone in Burma
Why can't we sit back and enjoy the ride?
Amen. This is a beautiful poem. I agree 100%!
