Sweet summer rain cleanses my pain
Its smell caressing my nose.
Letting it grace the skin on my face
This cold day coming to close.

Here and there, around everywhere
I witness a joyous ballet.
My ears, eyes, and skin are reminded again
Of goodness that had gone astray.

The good and the bad and the sickness I had
Drowned by the drops from above.
Skipping around on the wet, cold, hard ground
Instilled with a new sense of love.

Summer went by with the blink of an eye
The year will soon be gone too.
It's days like today that help me to say
I'm ready to start off anew.

Sadness and grief will find their relief
Through means of a friendly kiss.
From heavenly tears that bring back the years
That many of us will all miss.

Let go of regret, but never forget
The trials that brought you here.
Instead look ahead to leave all your dread
A shadow to leave in the rear.

In this life I know, through hell we must go
In order to find our true meaning.
So let the rain fall on each of us all
For thus is a spiritual cleaning.

You, me, and them should never condemn
Any who should come to our door.
Instead give your best, let God do the rest:
From less we all receive more.

By seizing the day we pave the way
To a bright and noble tomorrow.
Sweep 'way the strife and be thankful for life
To outweigh the pain and sorrow.

So flood over me, from sky down to sea.
And wipe away all of my doubt.
Sleep with the thought of not getting caught
In lies we must do without.
