First drop falls in heated sand
Water to Steam
Redeemer of read lands
Second drop falls on dirt covered palms
Water to Mud
Liberator of sun-drinking life
Third drop falls through sandy winds
Water to Dirt Rain
Savior of blue skies
As drops turn to rain
Rain turns to Storm
Storm sweeps away yesterdays sins
Sheltered from the rain
Goat-meat and Mushrooms
fries in coal-heated oil
Men seek shelter
Water and Land
Brings new scent of life
A promise of growth
Black Hands and Red Lands
Saved from northern sand
Rice is cocking
African Rice to African Mouths
Given as a offering
Leaving us free
Sand and Wind
Has left the land of Asogli
