The Rain

Some people dismiss the rain
For its lashings
Its beaten track of tears

But don't they see
Its trying to clear our minds
Put at rest today's new fears

On the pavements 
Uncertainty seeps into every crack
People begin to grow in their despise

When you are comfortable
With the long sights of society
The rain has tears in its eyes

It wants to wash away the picture
Make things genuine
Awash the world with a fresh view

Don't you see 
When the rain washes down
It does nothing but help you

Who hasn't ran through its torrent
Smiled as its fingers
Ran through your hair and touched your face

Please believe me
Those delicate droplets of gentle force
Are your saving saving grace
