Richard McClellan (Arkansas)
Rain, Rain
Rain, Rain, wash over me,
cleanse an purify me,
your drops, so soothing n' smooth,
lull me to sleep, content, not blue,
Rain, Rain, drops abound,
clean my body n' soul,
make me new,
with no walls around,
Rain Rain, my roof you seek,
your floods wash over me,
the emotions do peek,
cause rain is life-giving,
much zeal to thee,
Rain, Rain, clean my body,
for you always make me,
feel so fancy n' so free,
Rain, Rain, refreshing to me,
for during the rain,
no refrain from sleepin I see,
Rain, Rain, stay with me,
cause I'm in love with you,
you leave me unchained,
feeling worthy, not blue.
