Rain Such a simple thang Every drop, a different stop But they all come from the same God is the cloud And we are the rain That's why I sometimes feel That somehow we are the same Whenever I lay my head to sleep There's a strong thought that keeps haunting my mind Careless whispers of a nation That somehow was caught trapped in the dark and nowhere to go I know my thoughts are tellin' me Gotta be a part of me I can feel it Gotta be a part of me In my heart, in my soul Gotta be a part of me The world must be callin' me Gotta be a part of me And my world comes from within Life Has no guarantees That you'll keep what you have Even though you're blessed with then That's why I'm feeling Some fear for the world With all the grief and misery How much real time is there The sooner I take more responsibilities I can truly say, I am grateful for my world The irony of tryin' to do the right thing Is whatever you do, some will undo and sometimes destroy And there's someone still left in darkness and you say Gotta be a part of me I can feel it Gotta be a part of me In my heart, in my soul Gotta be a part of me Part of me, from the depths of my soul Gotta be a part of me Making you part of you, part of me Everything must come back to me more The world is what we make it What we see today Are the results of the mistakes they made yesterday And what we see tomorrow Will be the results of what we do today It's a shame that peace and respect Have been replaced with money and power The children, they are the futures So teach them how to love themselves And they will love others Don't you see, love that's the key Gotta be a part of me I can feel it Gotta be a part of me In my heart, in my soul Gotta be a part of me And the world must be callin' me Gotta be a part of me 'Cause my world comes from within Gotta be a part of me I can be, I can be, I can be a part of the whole Gotta be a part of me I can feel it, feel it Gotta be a part of me You're a part of me, they're a part of me Gotta be a part of me We are a part of each other, you and me Gotta be a part of me They were a part of me Gotta be a part of me Gotta be a part of me
