Lyrics for send down the rain by Majek Fashek.
The sky look misty and cloudy
Looks like rain’s gonna fall today
This morning I’ve been soaked in mercy
Waiting for the rain to drop the water, Lord
Oh Lord, ye
‘Cause I’m a hungry man
And I don’t wanna be angry
Send down the rain
Water up my seed, ye
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Everything in life has got its time and seasons
So you don’t have to ask me why
You don’t expect to sow cassava
But reap up cocoyam
You don’t expect to sow rice
And reap up cassava
Whatsoever a man soweth in this world
They must surely reap
Yes, I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Papa-papa papayo
Yaya-yaya yayayo
Send down the rain
‘Cause I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Mama-mama mamayo
Ayaga-yaga-yaga yagayo
Send down the rain
Jah is my song and that will make me be so strong
Jah is my song that make me feel so strong
No matter what they say
Even if they say I’m wrong
I’m gonna feel strong ’cause I know I’m gonna live long
Oh Lord
‘Cause I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Papa-papa papayo
Yaya-yaya yayayo
Send down the rain
Mama-mama mamayo
Ayaga-yaga-yaga yagayo
Send down the rain
Yes, I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Jah is my song and that will make me be strong
Even though I’m wrong, I’m gonna live long
Jah is my song that make me feel so strong
And even if they say I’m wrong
I’m gonna live long, I’m gonna live long, yo
‘Cause I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Mama-mama mamayo
Ayaga-yaga-yaga yagayo
Send down the rain
Papa-papa papayo
Yaya-yaya yayayo
Send down the rain
Jah is my song and that will make me be strong
Even though I’m wrong, I’m gonna live long
Jah is my song and that will make me feel strong
Even though I’m wrong, I’m gonna live long, yo
Yes, I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
Papa-papa papayo
Yaga-yaga-yaga yagayo
Send down the rain
Mama-mama mamayo
Ayaga-yaga-yaga yagayo
Send down the rain
Papa-papa papayo
Ayaga-yaga-yaga yagayo
Send down the rain
