TIMI DAKOLO: Send Down The Rain

Timi - Send down the rain

The sky look misty and cloudy
Looks like rain’s gonna fall today
This morning I have been sowing my seed

Waiting for the rain to drop and water it all. Lord yea
Oh Lord ye

Cause I’m a hungry man
And I don’t wanna be angry
Send down the rain
To water up my seed ye…
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain
Send down the rain

Cause I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
papa papa papayo
jagajaga jaga yo
send down the rain

Cause I’m a living man
Got a lot of work to do
Send down the rain
mama mama mamayo
jaga jaga jagayo
send down the rain…

Everything in life has got its time and season
So you don’t have to ask me why
You don’t expect to sow cassava
And reap up cocoyam

You don’t expect to sow rice
And reap up cassava
Whatsoever I and ya soweth in this world
We must surely reap

TIMI DAKOLO: There’s A Cry

Timi Dakolo - There is a cry

VERSE 1

There’s a cry form a young boy, in a city running wild;

There’s a cry from a mother, who just lost another child;

There’s a cry from a people, who have nothing more to lose;

Everything that they lived for, have been wasted and abused.

[CHORUS:]

There’s a cry from a river, that has nowhere to flow;

And the pride of the river was lost so long ago;

And that cry is for a reason, that only heaven knows;

Where did they go wrong, how can we go on;

Only hope remains the answer.
