I sometimes want to be the rain
to feel others pain
to connect two people's feelings
and to bring forth healing

I sometimes want to be the rain
to make others feel solemn sanity
to destroy a woman's vanity
to pitter and patter on a window pane

I sometimes want to be the rain
to make a dream come true
to generate dark and stormy days
for lovers to kiss beneath me
for lovers to hide from me

I sometimes want to be the rain
to connect two peoples pain
to bring the strong to their knees in anguish
as they remember some forgotten wish
or a beloved person they'll never see again

I sometimes want to be the rain
to wash away afflictions
to heal the aches
to heal the hearts
of broken lovers

I sometimes want to be the rain
to see you again
