“when it rains it pours, especially when you can’t afford it/ just make it rain, I’m poor; I know the clouds can afford it“
For when you’re working, running, fighting, striving, struggling 24/7
What do you do when your earnings are not yours to spend? What do you do when life is not yours to live? Or when you’re made out for a fool and left to drown in the hardship raining down on you.
Written on a trip to Las Vegas, this remix invites us to explore solutions to our challenges together. No matter the size of the mountain, no matter the weight of the burdens you carry, you’re still needed here.
“I’ve been twenty fo(u)r seven years / and I’ve earned every one of my tears / Closed my eyes when I prayed / fasted for seven days / Help never came / All my bills went unpaid
– 24/7 (Original Version)
I know it’s hard, and it breaks your heart / but you’re still needed here / yes, you are / I know you don’t wanna / but you must pick yourself up, and knock of the dust / Keep going.
Twenty for seven years, and you’re still needed here.
Verse One: When it rains it pours / especially when you can't afford it. / Just make it rain I'm poor / know the clouds can afford it / What do you do? / When your earnings are not yours to spend ? / What do you do? / When life is not yours to live?
Chorus: What do you do? / When they make you out for a fool? / When all you know is pain, and all it does it rain / Hardship on you / What do you do? / What do we do?
Verse Two: I know it's hard / but don't throw away your heart, please / What do you do? / Breaking news everyday; you just wanna look away / Stay here with me
Bridge: Here's what you do when there's nothing left to lose / Look to your right, and say your needed here (I'm needed here, I'm needed here, I'm needed) / Look to your right, say you're needed here (I'm needed here, I'm needed)

If you are not here, who will claim the love I reserved for you? Who will wipe the tears that flow for you? Who will hear the heart that beats for you? With you gone, who will remember with me? Who will remind me I’m not alone?

The Fire!! This Time (Foreword)
“Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison…
