Neil Young - Be the Rain Lyrics

Save the planet for another day
Attention shoppers, buy with a conscience and save
Save the planet for another day
Save Alaska, let the caribou stay

Don't care what the governments say
They're all bought and paid for anyway
Save the planet for another day
Bey big oil, what do you say?

We were runnin' through the night
Never knowin' if we would see the light
Paranoid schizophrenic visions
Livin' in fear of the wrong decisions

We got to wake up
We got to keep goin'
If they follow us
There's no way of knowin'

We got a job to do
We got to
Save mother earth

Be the ocean when it meets the sky
You can make a difference, if you really try
Be the magic in the northern lights
Six days, six nights

Be the river as it rolls along
It has three eyed fish and it's smellin' strong
Be the rain you remember fallin'
Be the rain, be the rain

Yeah, rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet
Hail is beatin' down on our heads
The wind is blowin' through our hair
Faces frozen in the frigid air

We got to get there
Alaska
We got to be there
Before the big machines

We got a job to do
We got to
Save mother earth

Dream the hunter on the western plain
The birds are all gone, where did they go?
Dream the fisherman in his boat
He's comin' home empty, he's barely afloat
Dream the logger in the great northwest

They're runnin' out of trees, they got to give it a rest
There's no other way to cut it
Dream the farmer in the old heartland
Corporate greed and chemicals are killin' the land

Next mornin' sun was up at dawn
She looked around and earth was gone
Dark visions he had last night
He needed peace, he needed light

He heard the rumble and
He saw the big machines
The green army rose
It was a bad dream

He had a job to do
He had to
Save mother earth

Be the ocean when it meets the sky
Greek freighters are dumping crap somewhere right now
Be the magic in the northern lights
The ice is melting

Be the river as it rolls along
Toxic waste dumpin' from corporate farms
Be the rain you remember fallin'
Be the rain, be the rain

Save the planet for another day
Be the rain, be the rain
Be the river as it rolls along
Be the rain, be the rain
