Rain

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

Be sure to keep

Your head up in the game

And remember the pains

Came from a yesterday.

Find the time for a look

Deep down inside

It’s a flip of the mind

To find the light

And let it shine.

(Chorus)

Today is the day

I’ll use the rain

To wash it all away.

Just be sure to make more plans

Ahead of the pain.

When it’s sung out cold and blue

A song in the rain

On rainy days

Ruins parades.

Tomorrow is another day

For a whole other parade

Just turn it around

And let it walk away.

Things move to love

With patience for change.

Today is a yesterday 

And tomorrow is a whole new today

A day to feel better 

For life matters

To feel happy again.

(Chorus)

Today is the day

I’ll use the rain

To wash it all away.

Just be sure to make more plans

Ahead of the pain.

When it’s sung out cold and blue

A song in the rain

On rainy days

Ruins parades.

In your mind 

Just rewind

To remind your heart

You always remember happy times.

Sad is a trap

That never feels

The same looking back.

The happy memories

Always shine through

Your lowest times.

Don’t stay under the weather

And bent out of shape

If the morning never comes

Stay in your dreams

A little bit longer

They are meant for you

And the day will come 

When your morning shines again

Life is the same

Keep dreaming away.

(Chorus)

Today is the day

I’ll use the rain

To wash it all away.

Just be sure to make more plans

Ahead of the pain.

When it’s sung out cold and blue

A song in the rain

On rainy days

Ruins parades.

(Bridge)

And we should get to know 

Ourselves more

Instead of always being told what to do

We can all love without pain

Wash away all the hate from yesterday

That’s the way to wash away all the pain

Tomorrow is the day

For another parade

Tomorrow’s the day that starts today.

Use the rain today

To wash away all the hate.

(Chorus)

Today is the day

I’ll use the rain

To wash it all away.

Just be sure to make more plans

Ahead of the pain.

When it’s sung out cold and blue

A song in the rain

On rainy days

Ruins parades.

I will always love a rain

For it can wash away your pain

Wash away all your hate

Feel free again.

Wash away the hate 

And feel free again.
