When the Rain Doesn't Come

A little farm so far away
Rice fields everywhere
Seven children with their 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

Chai Ni Li, about fourteen
No childlight in her eyes
Now and then she has to leave
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

Neon lights, big time in Charlie's bar
In the doorway tiny Chai Ni Li
Some guys start to touch her
She closes her eyes and thinks
"It has to be"
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come

Her will is stronger than her pride
She sells her body to let her family survive
Go and save the child behind those eyes
Don't play on the situation

Even if the rain... If the rain doesn't come
Even if the rain... If the rain doesn't come
Even if the rain... If the rain doesn't come
Even if the rain... If the rain doesn't come
