Revel In the Rain

Storms can come at any time There are mountains that we climb Sunshine helps to ease the pain We have to revel in the rain Revel in the rain Within the swirling squall When your back’s against the wall And you’re feeling so very small Revel in the rain Life can take us for a ride It’s like swimming against the tide When we lose more than we gain It’s time to revel in the rain Revel in the rain Looking to the sky Spread your wings and start to fly Let the freedom make you sigh Revel in the rain When you give all that you’ve got You’ll find you’re better than you thought You wouldn’t have grown without the pain Raise your arms and revel in the rain Revel in the rain Shout to the heavens, I’m alive Feelings of triumph I revive When all is done I will survive Revel in the rain

We have to withstand a little rain in our lives...we can revel in it and learn from it! So I say....let's just jump in the puddles and have a whale of a time when it rains!! Nicely done, Vince! :) Carrie

This is wonderfully uplifting and serves to be inspirational as well. Terrific imagery and love the repetition of the one line as it emphasizes the need to do exactly that, revel in the rain. Michael
