In the howling wind comes a stinging rain

This guy comes up to me His face red like a rose in a thorn bush

Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street

As a man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls you hear the city groan

Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain through a gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children
Who run Into the arms Of America
