I reconcile my yesterday with my today
And continue my quest of life’s new discoveries
In a world covered with traces of winter snow
The night is still, dark, and lurks with shadows of the dead
The air is dry and unkind to the senses
My body longs for sprinkles of rain
It longs for the purity of air to touch my lungs
For my borrowed times are closing in
I dream of the beautiful rainbow up in the sky
Looking down on earth with a biggest smile
Capable of releasing the chains of doubt
Possessed by the heart filled with revenge upon the other
But the rainbow, only the rainbow will breathe kindness to all
Bringing laughter where there was none
And fulfill the cause of togetherness
For my borrowed times near
Today, I propel forward with all my mighty
To find solace in the calm summer rain
Pouring down on my body
Drenching every inch of my body
Still, I stand in reminiscence of the midday summer
Of yesterday when the sunshine sent sparks of heat
All through my joints
Awaking memories of laughter and kindness
Borrowed times are a reminder to cease the day
And live with a purpose to rekindle the heart
Because nothing is big enough to impede my journey
Not even the heat will slow me down
As I reconcile my yesterday with my today
While I march forward to my tomorrow
With a new insight on life
For my borrowed times are on the verge of lapsing
You calm my soul
Your sound is ethereal
Rain oh rain
You are the key to life
You give me water to quench my thirst on a hot summer day
Rain oh rain
You alone can decide my fate
Without you, I’m famished
Rain oh rain
You make my plants grow to fruition
You have the ability to store water for tomorrow
Rain oh rain
What am I to do without your presence?
How can I survive if a drought took over?
I will always celebrate your presence
Because rain you are the key to all things nature
The trees celebrate you
The birds celebrate you
The animals of the land celebrate you
The animals of the sea celebrate you
Humans welcome you with open hands
Rain, rain, rain! You are the key to all living things.
