This is not the promised land
This is not the dream we had
Intolerance now glowing bright
Where hope once shed the only light

This is not the promised land
This is not the dream we had
This is not the promised land
This is not the dream

Poison rain

Bonds of love so brittle now
Parents children disavow
Hatred blooming where love grew
Scripture drowning out what’s [bad word] 
This is not the promised land
This is not the dream we had
This is not the promised land
This is not the dream

Poison rain

Ethics masked by mumbled verse
Twisting blessing into curse
Preaching love but teaching hate
Bigotry all we create

Poison rain

Children lie awake and weep
Try to bury nature deep
We ignore their tragic cries
To focus on a book of lies

Poison rain

Rain
