My church choir is performing this song for an upcoming service. I honestly prefer the SATB + Piano arrangement by Larry Nickel, but I've linked to the best I could find on YouTube.I Dreamed of Rain by Jan Garrett
Power? Over Doug's entire Area of Effect, it rains. The rainwater has a variety of miraculous properties: it heals injured and sick animal life (which includes most sapient beings), it removes pollution from the air it falls through and the soil and water it flows into, and it promotes ludicrously fast plant growth. The cleansing and healing effects are permanent (in that the pollution or injury doesn't blink back into existence when the song ends), but note that the song doesn't do anything about sources of pollution, sickness, and injury. The song also imposes a cessation of violence for as long as it plays: explosives simply fail to work, firearms fail to fire, and other weapons (including fisticuffs) invariably inexplicably miss.
Quote:I dreamed of rain, and the rains came,
Soft and easy, sweet and clear;
I dreamed of rain, and the rains came,
And peace spread over the land.
I dreamed of summer and the winds changed,
And the green was easy and the rivers ran clear;
I dreamed of summer and the winds changed,
And peace spread over the land.
And the flowers bloomed in the desert,
And the air is fresh and clear;
I dreamed of rain, and the rains came,
And peace spread over the land.
I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose,
And the way was easy and the path was clear;
I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose,
And peace spread over the land.
And the guardian stars are shining,
And the night is bright and clear;
I dreamed of freedom and the moon rose,
And peace spread over the land.
I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang,
And the sound was easy, the song was clear;
I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang,
And peace spread over the land.
And the ancient pain is forgotten,
And the fathers' debts are clear;
I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang;
Peace spread over the land.
I dreamed of rain, and the rains came;
I dreamed of rain, and the rains came.
