Whispers in the Rain
Judy Collins
Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain
Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain
The war within our heart
Keeps us far apart
Is there nothing we can do
To find peace for me and you
Pray for love today
Drive the tears away
Wrap me in your arms
Could the future still be ours to have
Can we reach beyond the scars
Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain
Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain
Children of this world
Under every flag unfurled
Show them what they mean to you
Teach them to believe
Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain
Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain
Silence in the crowd
Everyone too proud
Who will answer for the lives
That are written in their eyes
Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain
Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain
