Dancing In the Rain
I hear a soft pitter patter, against the window pane
I look up and there's tears against the glass, I see tiny drops of rain
I watch it splash and land, I watch as the wind blows it around
I watch the patterns form, and listen to the calming sound
There's nothing like hearing rain, falling from above,
Nothing like standing under the steady stream, and dancing in the rain
I spread my arms out wide, as far as they can go,
I close my eyes and stand real still, a feeling like no other known
It's soft and cold and refreshing all at once
It's a once in a lifetime thing, it's a one and only chance
So take a leap, and jump into the stream,
Come and take my hand, let your soul run free,
Take a chance and feel the rain with me
All the joy, all the life
All the colors of the earth
Hear the sounds, call your name
A brilliant rebirth
So follow me, into the storm
And listen to life taking a new form
My senses overwhelmed, my emotions askew
Feeling like I'm flying, joy I never knew
Nothing like some thunder and rain
To wash away the tears and pain
It's my chance to be invisible, to all the people walking by,
Like tears blending with the falling rain, and watching the world fade away as you cry
To dance in the rain, brings tears of joy to my face
The power that blows across the wind, takes me to another place
The clouds above my head, thunder to the beat of my heart
The lighting strikes across the sky, cutting a path for me to follow
No many people can see the beauty, behind the thundering storm
For they are too caught up in the darkness it brings
To find the beauty that shines, within even the darkest things
Is to cherish the dark, for the beautiful stars it brings
Though life may be short, in the grand scheme of things
When I’m dancing in the rain, life seems to be put on pause
So enjoy the light pitter patter, of the rain against the glass
And savor these big moments, cause the tiny ones don’t really last
