i heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
and it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
and it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
