Make It Rain

[Verse 1]
My money, my time, my life, I've spent it,
A million times over, in moments that I've lent,
My kiss, my twist, my fist, I sent through the air,
A billion times over, do they even care?
Why can't they see, I'm in love with this thing called love,
Trying to be a part of this thang called love.
[Chorus]
I'll make it rain, you'll make it rain,
There's no stain in claiming, I'll make it rain.
Baby, I'll make it rain, just look up, forget your tears,
I'll make it rain, let's wash away the fears.
[Verse 2]
Next time I care, next time I share,
Next time I blare at the mirror, I hope it’s clear,
I pray it’s dear, I know that I’m a survivor,
You dance with me under the moon, I'm a thriver.
Under the sun, I made the flowers bloom,
When I asked if you would walk with me through this storm,
Your answer was a melody breaking the gloom.
[Chorus]
Why can't they see, I'm in love with this thing called love,
Trying to be a part of this thang called love.
I'll make it rain, you'll make it rain,
There's no stain in claiming, I'll make it rain.
Baby, I'll make it rain, just look up, forget your tears,
I'll make it rain, we'll wash away the fears.
[Bridge]
So many clouds around, but I'm reaching for the light,
No more holding back, it's my time to ignite.
Embrace the rhythm of this heartbeat, feel the power surge,
With every drop that falls, I rise, ready to merge.
[Chorus]
I'll make it rain, you'll make it rain,
There's no stain in claiming, I'll make it rain.
Baby, I'll make it rain, just look up, it’s crystal clear,
I'll make it rain, let’s drown out the fear.
[Outro]
Say good morning to your Lane,
In this love game, let’s break every chain.
Let the heavens open wide, let the blessings flow,
I’ll make it rain for you, baby, let it show.
I'll make it rain, I'll make it rain,
I'll make it rain, I'll make it rain for you.
