The radio
telling fortunes of
another ten days of sun

and we haven't seen the rain
in so long

and of kingdom's come
and when will

Lord knows it's hot
Lord knows it's hot
So it goes
only heaven knows
how the currents of the weather
will turn
the skies will open
just like hearts at the start
of an unexpected twist
of the verse
we're all together now
in this heat coming down
on this beautiful world we're in
we haven't got time for the lightning
that is burning in the violence
that's tearing us,
tearing us apart
Lord Knows It's Hot (ad infinitum)
