The realization comes slowly
That I don’t know what is real
I don’t know what I want
Don’t know what I feel
The weight is heavy upon me
Holding onto a sinking stone
With the knowledge
That inside, we are all alone
And in order to be healed
We have to stand in rain
In order to pay our penance
We have to endure the pain

The water washes over me
Washing me clean
I am starting out fresh again
Somewhere in the in-between
Until I feel the need again
Moving from left to right,
I feel the need to be cleansed
By the rain tonight

I loved this!  Sometimes we need a few bad times to really appreciate the good ones.  I love a good walk in the rain to clear my head.
