Sound of the Rain

I hear the winds blow
 I hear the thunder loud and clear
 I see the lightning, 
 oh so near!
 I love this time of the year
 
 The water falls with a steady rhythm
 the scent of monsoon in the air
 I stretch my hand out to feel the water
 and stand outside to feel the wind in my hair
 And the water washes away my every care

 It cleans my soul,
 and frees me
 of all the worries I've had
 I feel the glee
 and extremely free
 
 As I stand there in my balcony 
 time passes by,
 slow and steady
 I look at the sky
 and let out a sigh

 Tonight I need no blanket
 I need no light
 I need no lullaby
 I need this sight
 and the sound of the rain to fall asleep tonight
