You were born to be a rainstorm
To send your voice throughout the night
To sing your song with falling raindrops
To break the darkness with your light
You were born to show raw beauty
To wash the dirt out of their eyes
But the whole world ran for cover
When you open up your skies
So you made your thunder silent
And learned to bite your rainy tongue
You gave them what they wanted
You gave them life with endless sun
But as they watched their lives grow weaker
Watched as their leaves turned brown and dry
They wish they hadn't taken for granted
Your blooming presence in the sky
You were born to be a rainstorm
To be chaotic and bold
To show there is beauty in the knowledge
That you cannot be controlled
Because you might think that you're not needed
Life without you is the same
But nothing beautiful would ever grow
If it wasn't washed with the rain
