Rain

Grief is a colour that I wear so well
Her hues are echoes of a tolling bell
My ears are open to the calls of hell
I think she has a story that I need to tell

All love is born in pain, do you remember?
That is the price we pay, to be together
Oh please don't run away from sweet surrender
I am not the enemy, my touch can be so tender

I'll embrace the rain
Make her my friend
I'll embrace the pain
And be grateful when it ends

When I'm in pain I hear a voice call out
You are releasing all your fear and doubt
My tears fall freely, as they reach the ground
I find a way to breathe and bring myself back down

I'm swept up in her waves, she's never idle
And on my darkest days, she was my rival
But I have found a way, to hold her cycles
I do not deny the pain, I am her disciple

I'll embrace the rain
I'll make her my friend
I'll embrace the pain
And be grateful when it ends
I'll embrace the days and all the time I've spent
I'll embrace the rain and make her my friend

Her storms were barriers to what I couldn't be
Without forgetting who I was when I was young and weak
Living life in terror through a lens of memory
She gifted with me with waters that would set my torn heart free

I'll embrace the rain
I'll make her my friend
I'll embrace the pain
And be grateful when it ends
I'll embrace the days and all the time I've spent
I'll embrace the rain and make her my friend
I'll embrace the rain
