And Then The Rain Will Come

And then the rain came down

Quietly, slowly

Dripping from my head

to the tip of my nose

and then down to my feet

 

The rain comes

only when the sky is smiling

and the night begins to stretch

it's long arms towards the sun

to smother it with darkness

Because its time to say goodnight

 

The rain will come

whenever you're not ready

when you can handle it the least

that's when it will hit

 

The clouds will roll in

and you'll be away

from home

from God and all things good

 

Don't let it drown you little one

keep breathing

and turn your face towards the sky
