Face the Rain

Rain threatens to pour out of the sky
Into the depths of the earth
The valleys just bowls waiting
To be filled with the drink from Heaven
Every blessed drop giving life away
But before life hits the earth
We must wait out the storm a comin'
Some hide away into the shadowy corners
But I prefer to enjoy
Just step outside and dance
Yell up to the Heavens, to rain its life down on me
Because why rot away in the corner
When you can be there to see it all
The giving of life
So its up to you
Waste away in the shadows
Or stand up and face to rain
Let it give you life
