Neil Young - Be The Rain Lyrics

These kind of songs should be noticed not the heavy metal rock and other songs

Masterpiece!

Greatest respect and love for helping to save the planet from day one,lots of love gabriel

Lyrics......

Save the planet for another day
"attention shoppers, buy with a conscience and save"
Save the planet for another day
"save Alaska! let the caribou stay"
Don't care what the governments say
"they're all bought and paid for anyway"
Save the planet for another day
"hey big oil, what do you say?"

We were runnin' through the night
Never knowin' if we would see the light
Paranoid schizophrenic visions
Livin' in fear of the wrong decisions
We got to wake up
We got to keep goin'
If they follow us there's no way of knowin'
We got a job to do
We got to save mother earth

Be the ocean when it meets the sky
"you can make a difference, if you really try"
Be the magic in the northern lights
"six days.... six nights"
Be the river as it rolls along
"it has three eyed fish and it's smellin' strong"
Be the rain you remember fallin'
"be the rain, be the rain"

Yeah rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet
Hail is beatin' down on our heads
Wind blowin' through our hair
Faces frozen in the frigid air
We got to get there, Alaska
We got to be there
Before the big machines
We got a job to do
We got to save mother earth

Dream the hunter on the western plain
"the birds are all gone, where did they go?"
Dream the fisherman in his boat
"he's comin' home empty, he's barely afloat"
Dream the logger in the great northwest
"they're runnin' out of trees, they got to give it a rest"
Dream the farmer in the old heartland
"toxic waste and chemicals are killin' the land"

Next mornin' sun was up at dawn
She looked around and earth was gone
Dark visions she had last night
He needed peace, he needed light
He heard the rumble and he saw the big machines
The green army rose, it was a bad dream
He had a job to do
He had to save mother earth

Be the ocean when it meets the sky
"Greek freighters are dumping crap somewhere right now"
Be the magic in the northern lights
"the ice is melting!"
Be the river as it rolls along
"toxic waste dumpin' from corporate farms"
Be the rain you remember fallin'
"be the rain, be the rain"
Save the planet for another day
"be the rain, be the rain"
Be the river as it rolls along
"be the rain, be the rain"

Thank you so much for the lyrics

You're very welcome Michelle and thank you! It was my pleasure to do it and I'm glad it was appreciated and useful. Thank you for your reply!

sailor with his yellow suit is my spirit animal

I saw Greendale on IFC channel years back at a turning point in my life and loved it.

this is my favorite Neil Young song now

Großartig

We've got to save Mother Earth.
Here with you All from Portugal !!!!!!!!

That's just the grooviest shit ever …..

I went to the concert in Melbourne in 2004 (i think). I am re-loving this again. Brilliant lyrics, how appropriate with global warming in 2019 and the crap Morrison Government.

what location was this filmed?

Somebody mentioned in a comment earlier that this was filmed in Toronto.

Masterpiece!

A MASTERPIECE, TYP

WE LOVE YOU NEIL....YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE ....the ONLY ONE .( now that John Trudell moved on )...who speaks up ...who speaks up LOUD AND CLEAR AND TRUE............ for the EARTH..

Really playing that famous Dm-A#-F-C progression like his life depends on it!

I could watch this video 100 times and not get bored. The song is a rocker, I like the message and there is always something new to see. The dislikes are CEOs

One of the best shows ever!

saw the show ,was terrific

proud to be American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matthew 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

WOW - YEAH - THANK YOU FOR SHARING - GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU - LOVE AND PEACE AND HAPPINESS - Michael from Germany and Austria

Thirteen seconds in Neil Young hits a single note on Old Black and for the next ten minutes were swept up in a gloriously deep grungy groove that carries us to a mystical place only those who understand the music of Neil Young can enter.

So very true for me too..

The fisherman in the yellow rain slickers is cutting a rug! Great song.

That is the great Russ Tamblyn, Neil's old Topanga Canyon neighbor back in the After the Gold Rush days. His daughter Amber Tamblyn is an actress in film and TV also, and here on stage is Neil's daughter Amber as well as one of the dancers

i thout it was so funny to see the cops dancing and really joining in pete

Saw this tour in West Palm Beach....Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely GLORIOUS. G.....LORious.. When Neil gets a move or two on, he REALLY gets a move on... Gonna play this agin right NOW

Be the rain, be the rain...ya.

We have a job to do... tell me what kind of job.

Everyone else has already praised everything else, I want to mention how cool the Neil's mic stand is.

I noticed

....So Awesome....Thank You....I Went To Radio City 2004 ......Greendale Was Too Much.....

Chris Paul me too! I was there on St Patty’s Day.

Neil's daughter is one of the singers / dancers. I love this song and this performance.

Born to rock

Heartfelt, powerful performance.

Neil's son Benny at 2:17 !!!!!

thank you

grande , Neil e un grande .

Was at this show filmed at the ACC in Toronto,was a great concert.

Sun Green has moves. Not only is she hot, she is RIGHT!!!!

Emmylou Harris at 06:00 she was the opening act on some of the shows on this tour

Sun Green can dance, damn good jam !!

I enjoy listening to Neil Young very much. However when you are singing against the very thing you are using I get confused.

I'd rather see that ugly-ass American flag on fire, but other than that, this is amazing!

what a song

Love Greendale, thanks for sharing.

lets stop free range cattle, keep em in your yard!!!!!! now

Awesome Neil!!As always

Looks like some pretty militant stuff.

They better call the Gard

Be the Rain
Be the Rain you remember falling
Be the Rain

Still waiting for the rain.
