I'D Rather Be

Let them be the sun. Optimistic rays of sunshine Shining upon giddy children As they play in the park I'd rather be the rain. Pessimistic drops of water Making children from of dissapointment As they watch raindrops race down their windowpane To be able to give a droughting town hope To cool the burning bodies of children To stop the thirst of a city To save the lifes of millions Making the moon and sea meet As I would join the ocean and rise with it Feeling the current touch the stars And making a tidal wave hold hands with the planets. So I would let them be the sun. So on a hot sunny day Parents can pull in their sun-burnt children and warn them about their harmful rays. And I, the rain. Would wash away the sweat, blood and tears. And I would look down at the children dancing. And I would watch the couple kiss under me. So, I would rather be the rain. Because After the rain. We all get to see a rainbow.
