.........and the rain falleth all around.......

and the lonely boy
(.......and she, too........)
in the Story some "where"

........the rain is falling, falling.........

the savage day
falling falling

the brittle brutal silence

.................how it rains down.................
(the rain falleth all around)

speaking nicely doesn't change a thing
cannot raise the dead child off of the ground
cannot heal the wounded above the loved ones grave

cannot stop the murderously lustfull greed

as simple courage is needed now
(............the rain it falleth all around.........)

in midst the brutal, brittle silence

a voice is calling, rising and falling

the boy is seeking someone, something
a girl, too, is in the story

some "where"

.......and the rain falleth all around..........
