Rain in the Desert

This is the story of a man
Whom I once knew
He thought he could
Make it rain in the desert
People called him names
They said he was crazy
No one he would listen

This very man once told me
That he wanted to fly
He bought a plane
Left everyone amazed
People called him names
They said he was crazy
No one he would listen

But he made it rain
Yes he made it rain
Like a bird he flew
He made it rain in the desert
Like a bird he flew

After the rain in the desert
He wanted more
He wouldn't settle
He'd go now for the moon
And people called him names
They said he was crazy
No one he would listen

This is the story of a man
Whom I once knew
He saw a forest
Where there was just a desert
People called him names
They said he was crazy
No one he would listen
People called him names
They said he was crazy
No one he would listen

But he made it rain
Oh yes he made it rain
Like a bird he flew
He made it rain in the desert
Like a bird he flew

Life without a dream
Hmm a nightmare
But don't make of your sweet dreams
A nightmare

Daddy once told me
That he wanted to fly
He wanted to fly
Hi-hi-high
And people called him names
They called him names and
No one he would listen

But he made it rain
Oh yes he made it rain
Like a bird he flew
He made it rain in the desert
Like a bird he flew
