about
This song actually exemplifies Psalm 13:
13:1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him,
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Just like David, I am crying out to God - asking His wisdom and blessing (thus asking for his spirit to Rain down - the bible often refers to the spirit in rain)... it is an open cry for help.
It is about reaching out. We are all human and we all long for that quenching. It's a true human emotion, and we need not be ashamed of it.
We are victorious in Him when we are at our weakest points.
Not every song has to have a "happy ending" because life is always open-ended... plus it leaves room for a continuation and learning...

lyrics
Rain... answer me now.
How will I go on?
This question in side me
Rain... answer me now.
Lord you hear me
Hear me crying
Cannot find a way
Searching for some
Yet I’m missing all the signs
Father just rain down
Bring your Spirit to my land
Won’t you please rain now
Bring some silence to my
What are you saying to me
What should I do with my life
Each beat of my heart
Each day that goes by
Still wondering why
I can walk but still I cannot fly
Father just rain down
Bring your Spirit to my land
Won’t you please rain now
Bring some silence to my
What are you saying to me
What should I do with my life
How will I go on?
This question in side me
Rain... answer me now.
Lord you hear me
Hear me crying
Cannot find a way
Searching for some
Yet I’m missing all the signs
Father just rain down
Bring your Spirit to my land
Won’t you please rain now
Bring some silence to my
What are you saying to me
What should I do with my life
Each beat of my heart
Each day that goes by
Still wondering why
I can walk but still I cannot fly
Father just rain down
Bring your Spirit to my land
Won’t you please rain now
Bring some silence to my
What are you saying to me
What should I do with my life
