Healing Rain

The rain falls steadily Tapping methodically upon the ground Never have I heard Such a tragic hopeless sound
It washes away stains Of brothers sacrificial blood Spilled all over the battlefield Such a horrid crimson flood
We met here in Gettysburg To fight for what we thought right So many brothers on either side Lie dead or dying here tonight
Tomorrow the rain will fall again A response from above God in His abundant mercy Will send rain in love
For we will fight again Many more brothers will die And again Gods sorrow Will fall from the sky
Washing away the fears The pleadings of terrified men Perhaps this time the rain Will help healing begin
The healing of rifts Caused by American brothers pride Sealing of wounds Festering on either side
Perhaps the tears of God Will soften hearts that remain And the voices of dying brothers Are no longer silenced in vain
