[00:24.841]Mom and dad have worked the fields
[00:30.739]I don't know how many years
[00:36.354]I'm just a boy but I know how
[00:42.226]And go to school when work is slow
[00:48.465]We have seen our country's roads
[00:54.586]Bakersfield to Illinois
[01:00.344]And when troubles come our way
[01:05.469]Oh yeah I've seen my daddy pray
[01:12.135]There's something wrong with little sister
[01:18.266]I hear her crying by my side
[01:24.671]Mama's shaking as she holds her
[01:30.155]We try to hold her through the night
[01:36.192]And mom says close you eyes mijito
[01:42.332]Dream of someplace far from here
[01:48.351]Like the pictures in your schoolbooks
[01:54.167]Someday you can take us there
[02:00.233]There must be something in the rain
[02:06.216]I'm not sure just what that means
[02:12.413]Angelita talks of sins of man
[02:17.588]Of dust that's in our hands
[02:23.965]There must be something in the rain
[02:30.268]Well what else could cause this pain
[02:36.229]Those airplanes cure the plants so things can grow
[02:42.434]Oh no it must be something in the rain
[03:12.299]Little sister's gone away
[03:18.223]Mama's working long again
[03:23.975]And me I think I understand
[03:30.422]About our life about our land
[03:36.19]Well talkers talk and dreamers dream
[03:41.819]I will find a place between
[03:48.678]I'm afraid but I believe
[03:53.908]That we can change these hurting fields
[04:00.204]'Cause there's something in the rain
[04:06.13]But there's more here in our hands
[04:12.179]Buelita's right about the sins of man
[04:16.977]Who's profits rape the land
[04:24.122]And the rains are pouring down
[04:29.969]From the growers to the towns
[04:36.23]And until we break the killing chains
[04:40.998]There's something in the rain
