Purple Rain

I can be a headache. A match lit at 1,000 degrees. 
I'm sorry I never meant you any harm. 
Even if I inflicted pain and made you bleed. 
Allow me to minister the band-aid to your arm.

I believed in you to perform all of your glories
We all as people have dreams within
It sucks that this world also revolves around worries
Can the riches of life in people's smile begin with no end?

I believe in you and me. 
Even when I say I don't. 
I believe a king can be a king. 
But I can't only believe if you won't.

We have wisdom, we have heart, and values that shower pearls
We have chances after chances that we don't take in this world. 
We trust, we have betrayal, we have misery, love, and pain.
We have rain the can drop to see that everyone in their own way could reign.
