Rainmaker
(A song inspired by ”the history of the Native American Indian”)

Music by Hedegard and Nigg
Lyrics by Pavelec and Pert

Today it hides away
We’re free from all this summer strain
And pain. Now the sun will sleep

Give thanks oh chant and pray
For all that lived and died in days, enflamed
Stricken by heat

Chant for the rain and so the summer sun be tamed
Passed down this pipe of peace and share this food of claim

So long a wait is through
A drought is gone, here comes the dew
A new touching sky and sea

Dance now the time is soon
Oh feel the kiss of spring no doom of June
Nature shall weep

Chant for the rain and so the summer sun be tamed
Passed down this pipe of peace and share this food of claim

Long ago, when the Indians freely roamed the earth
The rainmaker would pray to the gods for rain
Praying to the gods of light above
And to the gods of darkness below
Sacrificial prayers, the mighty rainmaker
