A song about the life's challenges. How we all succumb to them and if we empathize we can assist each other in finding our center with love and unity.

lyrics

(Chorus):
Sometimes it rains and it falls up on you,
And when it rains it falls on me too,
Sometimes it rains and it falls up on you,
And when it rains it falls on me too.

(Verse):
When clouds cast their shadows wide,
And rain starts falling from the sky,
It makes us feel like the only one,
Who has be forsaken by the sun,
Everyone must take a look inside,
To remember when they once were dry,
And do our best to never forget,
That there are times we mustl get wet.

(Chorus):
Rain down on me,
Sometimes it rains and it falls up on you,
Rain down on me,
And when it rains it falls on me too,
Rain down on me,
Sometimes it rains and it falls up on you,
Rain down on me,
And when it rains it falls on me too,
Rain down on me.

(Verse):
What is greater the water or wave?
And if we’re drowning who we gonna save?
Many rivers yet to cross,
Holdin on as our ship gets tossed,
Every storm soon will pass,
Another lesson that we learn in this class,
Time to let go of all the pain,
Let it it be washed away with the rain.

(Bridge):
Holdin on the waves have got me on the run,
Movin on the wind will guide me towards the sun. (Repeats)

(Chorus):
Rain down on me,
(Sometimes it rains)
Sometimes it rains and it falls up on you,
Rain down on me,
(When it rains)
And when it rains it falls on me too,
Rain down on me,
(Sometimes it rains)
Sometimes it rains and it falls up on you,
Rain down on me,
(When it rains)
And when it rains it falls on me too,
Rain down on me. (Repeats)

(Ad libs)

about

Akasha Chicago, Illinois

The Akasha sound gives birth to an unmistakable variety of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of The Skatalites, The Maytals, Heptones, Desmond Dekker and The Wailers.

"Akasha excels at conjuring up memories of reggae’s heyday, hewing close to its stylistic conventions while stretching out enough to incorporate many of its various strains and mutations."
