Black Rain
DJ Bobo Lyrics

Black rain falling on me
The darkness of the world is coming down on me.

Black rain is all that I see
Everything I see is darkness and despair.

Black rain colours the sand
Even the earth is stained with darkness.

Too fast I don't understand
Everything is moving so quickly, it's hard to make sense of what's happening.

False prophets talking about our life our destiny
People who claim to know the way forward are leading us astray and causing confusion.

Rain forest still alive sounds like a joke an irony
The fact that the rainforest is still standing is ironic considering all the other destruction happening in the world.

The air smells dirty we can all see pollution
The effects of pollution are all around us and impossible to ignore.

To heal the world is not a game or an illusion
The problem of saving the world is a serious one, and not something that can be fixed with magic or illusion.

We see the world hunger not enough to eat
The problem of hunger is still incredibly severe, and it's a stark reminder of how unequal our world is.

We close our eyes walking through the lonely streets
We sometimes try to ignore the problems of the world, but they still surround us.

Strange disease there's nothing there's no cure
There are so many diseases that are incurable or hugely difficult to treat.

Cancer aids and much more we know for sure
There are so many life-changing and life-ending diseases that we know exist.

Should we stay or run away
Should we try to fight for the world or abandon it altogether? It's a difficult question to answer.

That's the price we have to pay
Whatever we decide, there will be consequences.

And then before we fade to grey
Time is running out and things are getting more and more desperate.

The message is love
The only solution to all our problems is love.

Sometimes we get angry there's no focus in our life
When we feel lost, we can become angry and frustrated.

When people get hungry they gonna learn how to survive
People have to learn to survive in whatever way they can, even if it's not ideal or healthy.

Homeless people concealed in the street
Homelessness is a hidden problem that we often try to ignore.

With no hopes and no dreams with no shoes for their feet
The homeless often feel like they have no future and no support.

How many guns they have to melt they have to burn
The world has to find a way to reduce the number of weapons and make itself a safer place.

Return to good sense when will we ever learn
We have to become wiser as a society if we hope to make progress.

Fighting this freedom for everyone for you and me
We have to protect our right to freedom and continue to fight for its preservation.

I know that this world is the place for us to be
Despite everything, we still have to find a way to exist in this world.

Black rain made out of steam
The darkness surrounding us is made up of our own pollution and destruction.

Black rain to the extreme
The darkness of the world is becoming worse and more severe.

Black rain what can we do
What actions can we take to protect ourselves and the world from the darkness?

Too fast a nightmare comes true
Things are changing so quickly that it's sometimes hard to keep up or even comprehend.

They've got drugs for children sniff to be free
People have turned to drugs in desperation, even giving them to young children.

They've got so much corruption this is all what I can see
The problem of corruption is pervasive and often feels inescapable.

Respect yourself you don't need that pack of crack
We have to learn to love ourselves and respect our bodies and minds.

You only live once and you're not coming back
We only have one life, and it's important to make the most of it.

Spread your arms against the wall you're not to small
We can stand up for ourselves and fight back against oppression.

That's all to call who's next in the line to fall
The line of people who will suffer from poverty and violence next is growing longer.

This world is in motion runs faster and faster
The world is evolving and changing more quickly than we can adapt.

We pray for a wind of change don't want that disaster
We want things to change for the better, but we don't want to bring about even more destruction in the process.

Rain forest can survive rain forest save our life
The rainforest is crucial to our continued existence and must be protected.

If there's a wind of change the message is love
Even if we want things to change, love must always be at the center of our efforts for that change to be meaningful.

Protect the seven seas protect the helpless trees
We have to take care of the natural world and avoid harm to the environment.

We need the wind of change the message is love
If we want the world to change and our problems to be solved, we have to continue to spread love and kindness.

And then before we fade to grey
Time is running out and we have to take action quickly.

The message is love
Love is the only thing that can truly save us from the darkness.
