HEAVENS' R.A.I.N. (My River) © 2011

Rain from Heaven
Cleanse Me
Wash away all impurities
On this cloudy day
Make me a river which flows
From my lonely heart to yours
Fill me with the water of life
So that I may thirst no more
Sometimes I find myself
Drowning in the rain of my own tears
Hiding what I feel, Not keeping it real
But you know my heart
Every thought that runneth through my mind
The beat of my heart in and out of time
My soul at times is drenched from unclean waters
Worry - Fear - Heartbreak and Self Hate
I know my fellow man and woman can relate
It's so easy to conform to the pressures of the world
This day and so forth, I choose not to
I choose to start anew
Rain from the Heavens, Water of life
Make me a river that flows light
With strength and integrity as it's guide
And beams of hope that shine through my eyes
Pure is the river that now runneth through my Soul
Keeping me strong and ever nearer to my goal
I'll sing a new song until that feeling comes again
But this time, I'll be ready
To tackle all obstacles that stand before me
And surely I'll win
Because not all rain is bad and unclean
Your river simply teaches you what it means
To go through a test - a trial or two
Heavens' rain and my river makes it possible
for me to go through and naturally do what I do
I await your showers in the form of whatever it may be
Joy - Hurt - Pain or even Misery
I'll be forever ready...So Rain on...Go ahead rain on me
