Rain Dance
Summoning Storms: A Rain Dance of Wild Hearts
Lyrics
Let's do a rain dance honey
Expressing a desire to perform a rain dance with a romantic partner.
Let's see if we can make it pour
Suggesting the idea of attempting to make it rain through the dance.
Cause it's been some time since the lake went dry
Highlighting a prolonged period without rain, leading to a dried-up lake.
Let's see if we can conjure a storm
Proposing the notion of conjuring a storm through the rain dance.
Let's drink some firewater, baby
Suggesting the consumption of "firewater" and expressing a desire to howl at the moon.
And howl like a dog at the moon
Comparing the heart's wildness to a river and anticipating a timely skyfall.
My heart runs wild like a river, child
Emphasizing the untamed nature of emotions.
The sky couldn't fall too soon
Expressing a wish for the sky to fall soon, possibly referring to rain.
Oh, we could dance all night
Suggesting the possibility of dancing throughout the night.
Stomping our feet until the morning light
Inviting the partner to stomp their feet until morning in the dance.
Oh, around the flames
Referencing dancing around flames, creating a vivid image.
The snake and the bird calling to flood the plains
Symbolic imagery of a snake and bird calling for flooding the plains.
You got some Choctaw in ya
Acknowledging Native American heritage, specifically Choctaw.
I bet you got some Cherokee
Speculating on the presence of Cherokee ancestry in the partner.
So let's start a fire, let the flames get higher
Proposing the idea of starting a fire and hoping for divine intervention.
And hope the gods hear our pleas
Expressing a desire for the gods to hear their pleas for rain.
Oh, we could dance all night
Reiterating the possibility of dancing all night.
Stomping our feet until the morning light
Encouraging foot-stomping until the morning light in the dance.
Oh, around the flames
Repeating the image of dancing around flames.
The snake and the bird calling to flood the plains
Reiterating the symbolic call of the snake and bird to flood the plains.
