This song was NUMER ONE on MP3.com's Folk Rock charts for 4 days April 22-25, 2002!! An anthem like song not inspired by nor nothing like Dylan's song of the same title. In fact when Jack wrote this song he was unaware of Bob Dylan's song of the same title. | MP3.com CD: The Blest of Jack Tannehill - buy it! MP3.com CD: Promo-Blest of Jack Tannehill - buy it!

Story Behind the Song
The idea for this song occurred during a hard rainstorm which seemed to wash everything clean
Lyrics
There are full moons
Locked in closed rooms
There's an Eagle in hot water
There is freedom locked in cages
All our war wounds have left us painless
So many heroes lost to scandal
Finding men human can be tough to handle
We'll hate one nation for one man's bullet
We can love each other but we won't do it
I think it's time Lord
For a Hard Rain
Flush these waters
Cleanse our soils
Wash our children
Of the wrongs we've taught them
Shine on them a new world
Bless them with a rainbow
Left by a Hard Rain
Too often passion is quoted from Hallmarks
Television has made us robots
We'll follow leaders who are meeker
Than our neighbors we've kept as strangers
Too much silence, words should be spoken
Too many children from homes that are broken
Maybe all this violence in our school rooms
Comes from parents who just don't care
Or push too much too soon
I think it's time Lord
For a Hard Rain
Flush these waters
Cleanse our soils
Wash our children
Of the wrongs we've taught them
Shine on them a new world
Bless them with a rainbow
Left by a Hard Rain
etc. etc. etc.
