Splash Dance
Let's take a walk where raindrops dance
beneath the feet, in rainbow hue
Where mirrored worlds, and twin skies meet,
in puddles forming in the street
Our umbrellas opened wide, while other people, scurry by
Forgetting in their rush of day, to see the world is scrubbing clean
We'll stamp our feet to make a splash, while those around us make a dash
With diamonds in the morning light, to quench a tongue in sheer delight
Perhaps the gentle rain is kind enough
to wash away a threadbare heart, a broken dream, from yesterday...
enchanting me to believe within, to entertain my child again
We'll listen to the whispered winds, the sweet refrain of falling rain,
as if we were the child again.
We'll be as one, with earth and sun, and know that rain can be a friend
Let's hold up hands to catch the sky,...our inner child is waiting in the wings
