White Clouds, Dark Clouds
White clouds, dark clouds
Puffy white clouds float by smiling
They know we think they are very cool
The dark clouds follow, but they're not happy
with the negative viewpoints
of those who observe them
Dark clouds have feelings, and they matter too
We need to love them, just like the white clouds
Love them especially when they are sad
Sad clouds give you rain when they cry out loud
Dark, White, Pink, Yellow
Clouds when young don't see colour
Only happiness
When does that innocence fade
And turn into suspicion
