A little fawn so far away Rice fields everywhere Seven children with the mom And nobody else, they have to suffer
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come When the rain... When the rain doesn't come
Johnny Lee, about fourteen No child lie in her life Knowing then she has to live To save her family
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come When the rain... When the rain doesn't come
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come When the rain... When the rain doesn't come
Meal time is big time and Johnny is back In the doorway stands Johnny Lee Some guy has got to touch her She close her eyes and think 'It has to be' When the rain... When the rain doesn't come
Her will is stronger than her pride She sell her body to let her family survive Gone tell the child behind those eyes Don't blame the situation
