Story Behind The Song
Found myself mimicking a red indian and thought it would be cool to somehow intergrate it into a song. Strength grew as I paralelled the struggle of the indian with the struggle of all non white races or peoples with minority issues.I myself at the time of writing felt as if I was also in a dry season of my life where my songs are recieving plaudits from fellow musicians but little to no chance of real significance.
Song Description
About a Red Indian who fails to understand why the spirit of the sky is not assisting his efforts. he is struggling to provide food on the table and good crops. he is in desperate need of rain as his life and his fields are going through an unexplainable dry season in life.

Lyrics
RAIN Dee Aye N? Cee Eee
Why is all of my crops so dry
There?s a shortage of rain and I?d love to know why?
If this what?s to come then I might as well die
might as well , might as well die
Doesn?t seem to matter how hard I try
Still no rain coming down from the sky
Seeds planted, has never multiplied
No never multiplied, no never no
IF YOUR NOT MY ENEMY THEN WHO?S GETTING THE BEST OF ME
CAUSE I NEED MY ENERGY SO I CAN DO A RAIN DANCE...(SO) I CAN DO A RAIN DANCE (RPT)
RAIN RAIN COME ON DOWN
COME ON LET IT FALL ON ME (HO YA HEYA)
COME ON, COME ON DOWN I GOT A Dee Aye N? Cee Eee (rpt)
An Indian warrior has got some pride
But it cannot negate what he?s feeling inside
The modern system has always defied
But he can?t always hide he can?t always hide
He?s got to go with the flow
Get into his canoe and row
Don?t look back in anger just go
Till the spirit in the sky says so
IF YOUR NOT MY ENEMY THEN WHO?S GETTING THE BEST OF ME
CAUSE I NEED MY ENERGY SO I CAN DO A RAIN DANCE...(SO) I CAN DO A RAIN DANCE (RPT)
RAIN RAIN COME ON DOWN
COME ON LET IT FALL ON ME (HO YA HEYA)
COME ON, COME ON DOWN I GOT A Dee Aye N? Cee Eee (rpt)
