A Wand To Poke The Clouds

If I had one long wand That reached far up to the sky Would have poked it in the cloudland Can't see the earth so dry! Can't see the earth so dry Scarred and deeply hurt If I had a wand to poke the sky Would have torn the clouds apart! The parched earth is crying for rain The soil is a desert track Need a long wand to break open The clouds to heal the crack! The peasant is waiting on his tilled ground May not his toil go waste It's time for the clouds to be earthbound Save the season's harvest! O god give me a long magic wand To dispel this summer's looming curse Force the stubborn clouds to melt and disband Come down on earth as showers!
