I Can See the Sunrise

Where are we to go ?
Who am I to say ?
and for all we know
Its better this way.

And sometimes we
might stumble blindly and fall
apart so easily
what is, just is and maybe should be.

Although everything may seem so much darker than before
I can see the sunrise.

Early morning rain
that falls into my bed
that once threatened to wash me away
now washes me clean instead.

Although everything may seem so much darker than before
I can see the sunrise.

That last verse really got me.. Took me back to my own memories of early morning rain falling into my bed, and set off an upwelling of empathy. Is it actually a song? It definitely sounds like one.
