The First Raindrop - Guts and Gain

For a man to walk alone...in a city of millions For a heart to be forlorn...in a world of billions For a man to wander...purposelessly below his limits For the soul to wonder...why it even exists The first raindrop...fell to the desert earth And as it dried up...it felt so close to death But soon another one fell...then more rain came And soon all those raindrops...collected into a powerful stream It washed away the dust To reveal his Grand Canyon His mountain of troubles also didn’t last For his beautiful Niagara Falls came down So for a man to be out in the rain Misfortune and shame his mantra The first raindrop to fall into the ocean Drew a rainbow from thunder For a man to walk alone...in a city of millions For a heart to be forlorn...in a world of billions For a man to wander...purposelessly below his limits For the soul to wonder...why it even exists For a man to be alone...drowning his own teardrops Raindrops fell to a desert dune...and flowed steadily into an oasis So you’re not alone...maybe a bit dried up You’re just thirsty for life...come on and drink up!
