Rain

is there anything

I could have done

that morning

rain started to fall

it came to me overnight

and hit me by surprise

it caught me of guard

and I payed the price

as

I couldn't do anything

that morning

rain started to fall

the morning I lost my shine

it came to me overnight

and hit me by surprise

it caught me of guard

and I payed the price

so now

it has been raining

for so many years

and I'm running out of time

I wondered

when will the sun come out

and again make its shine 

part of my life

as I couldn't do anything

that morning

rain started to fall

it came to me overnight

and it hit me by surprise

it caught me of guard

and there was my shine

Come to a rest

I have to live this life one thing
I must do, I don't why, somethin'
you get born into

I feel like floatin' down a stream
don't know where it leads me I just
can't see

it's like a dream floatin' in
different directions, all of them
new

it's all a surprise what I find
it's called life, it's a sunrise a
new dawn

I'm floatin' down a stream can't
see it comin' to an end, somewhere
somehow

I believe, there's a place, where I'll
stay, an... come to a rest
