I Won't Leave Their Children

[Verse 1 — rolling bass]
I borrowed Chahk's electric rain
To fill your rivers once again
A thousand clouds above your door
You ask why one refused to pour

[Pre-Chorus — rising percussion]
Beyond the hills my fields are dust
I gave away the rain I loved

[Chorus — driving polyrhythm]
Thunder! Thunder! (Boom-ka-tss)
Everybody drinks but me
I fill your lakes, you count the drought
And wonder what I'm sad about
I'd break the sky and start the weather
With a world that's mine to grow
But villages drink from these rivers
And I won't leave their children low

[Verse 2 — jazzy break]
You want the lightning without fear
The harvest without waiting years

[Bridge — quiet piano]
My garden dreams of even one
Small cloud that doesn't owe the sun

[Outro — layered vocals]
(Rain on me, rain on me)
I raise the storm, then let it pass
Across the fields that aren't mine
