OBONGO THE RAIN MAKER~by Godfrey Kedogo

 

 

OBONGO THE RAIN MAKER

We bow in supplication to you
We bow to say thank you
Thank you for listening to our prayer
Thank you for answering our prayer

Obongo the rain maker
The amazing drought braker
For so long we’ve been in deep sorrow
Hoping and wishing it rains tomorrow

Barren grounds
Infertile soil
Bare grounds
Yearning for your magical drop

We bow to you Obongo
Forgive us that sin
That awful sin
The awful sin that made you hold onto the rains

We have cried
We have longed for your rains
We have cried
We have longed for the grounds to open up

Obongo Nyakalaga
Obongo the rain maker
We’ve come to say thank you
Thank you for the quenching drop
