NEVER STOPS RAININ' HERE

about

Written in response to a request for a song against war I wrote this about kids in a war zone who know little else and make up on better days a brighter picture of life. It is presumptuous of me to write about something about which I know so little experientially, but I felt enough about this to try, especially of late, given the horrors in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza. Sadly this has been going on for decades. Sadly, it is likely to continue.

lyrics

Never Stop Rainin' Here (for kids in a war zone)

never stop rainin' - here - it never stop rainin' - here

nobody told me - when i got born
nobody told me - that there'd be wars
there'd be bullets flyin + the bombs would drop
+ my sister + my brother + my mama + my daddy they'd be taken away in the dark

never stop rainin' - here - it never stop rainin' - here

+ i wonder what - yr thinkin' + i wonder if - you know me
send me a post card - mail me yr picture
tell me somethin' i need t know - will i ever feel - better?

im ok - im ok
don' worry about me
im strong
i got a brand new shirt
it came in a box from somewhere...

what is it like - where you live?
ya got a family there? will ya be my friend from far away?
will ya be my pal?
will ya take the hurt away?

im ok - i hope you r too - im ok-hope you r too

+ i wonder if - it's safe in new york
+ i wonder if - Paris is burning
+ i wonder if you like baseball
+ i wonder if you're thinkin' bout me

im ok-hope you r too - i'm ok - im strong
i'm kickin' a rock - off a bridge
it don't sound like much - but it's fun

never stops rainin' - here - never stops, never...
