The Rain Song........

The Rain Song........

There's so much to say.....

only so much would come

The old scars inside,

sear up and keep me mum

I cant go on, I cant even start

this pain I just cant bear

I am wounded soldier, lead me away,

.........better still, leave me back here.

Rain, Rain come again............

Cleanse my body and soul again

Wash away my vices, sins and pain

Don’t let my prayer go unanswered again

Was that a rumble i heard?

Is that a roll of thunder or a distant beat?

The droplets strike my face,

the soothing grey blanket slowly unfurls its feet

My mind soars like a golden bird,

from citadels of cobwebs, i make haste, i run

The numbness fades, i remember my home.

A sweet-sweet place under the sapodilla sun

Rain, Rain come again...........

It's been a while, I slip into a dream,

Of a wide open prairie, where herds would run,

Of pale full moon skies along a gentle flowing stream

A place where I grew up, where I had fun

Oh! for the beautiful starry skies, I long

Where the eagles used to take flight, soar

Yea, that’s where I am known, I really belong

Sweet sounds of waves lapping up on golden shores

Rain, Rain come again...........

Would things ever be the same

Its my end, it's been tame

But there is a flame that still burns

I hear an angel call my name.

I rise from my ashes, I remember myself

Sound the trumpet, I am ready for a fight

I follow a voice, a thought, mere shadow of a whisper

Even if I have to run another night

Rain, Rain come again...........

I follow my dream, calling me home

Whistling with winds in canyons, I have herds to run

Sprinting like a stallion, wild & unleashed like a river

Soft grass beneath my feet, shining, warmth like the sun

Soaring high into the blue yonder, my soul, the phoenix

Dancing, slipping sunrays off it’s wide golden feathers

Promising me the comforts lying far beyond

I would live, I am wet, I am drunk, the rain’s here,

……Ah!! The best of all weathers!!
