Story Behind The Song

turning your life and will over to a higher power is the main theme of the song...however....this depth,( as usual with ellyns' writing) is nicely covered with sexual analogies

Song Description

straight ahead tempo and rockin'

Lyrics

You worry too much and you stay out late at night
You cry for mercy and you beg for the sunlight
I ache to hold you as I smoke my cigarette
One kiss be deadly but I'll take what I can get
Or maybe just one trip to paradise instead

Because I think you know that your the only one
So I give it to the Gods and I give it to the sun
No one else could make me feel this way
So I give it to the wind and I give it to the rain

Give it to the wind. Give it to the rain
Give it to the wind. Give it to the rain
Give- it to- the- RAIN

Our lives are very seldom what we had in mind
It's oh so clear that something bigger will decide but
Should you choose to meet me naked with your soul
No matter how I try, I'd lose all my control
For just one ride to heaven with you alone

Because I think you know that you're the only one
So I give it to the Gods and I give it to the sun
No one else could make me feel this way
So I give it to the wind and I give it to the rain

Give it to the wind. Give it to the rain.
Give it to the wind. Give it to the rain
Give- it -to - the - RAIN

Give it to the Gods. Give it to the sun
but don't just give it up to anyone
Don't give it to your Mama 'cause she drinks to much
Don't give it to the preist because he likes to touch
Give it to the wind. Give it to the rain.
Give it to the Gods. Give it to the sun.
Don't give it up to me just 'cause I'm the one you love
Give it to the wind
Yeah.... yeah
Give it to the rain
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Rain, come on, come on
Rain, rain on me
Rain, rain on me baby
Rain, give it to the gods
Rain, give it to the sun
Rain, give it to the wind
Rain, come on, come on
Rain, give it up, give it up, give it up
Give it to the rain
