Coming to Life

As rain falls down from up above

Each drop on a joy ride

I cannot help but smile

With unexpected, unexplained elation...

With my hand outstretched

I feel the merry mercy drops

Splashing wet against my cold skin

Rising to meet the twinkle in my eyes...

It makes me think of the good old days

When the world was a free place

Where there was no bondage, no labour

Only a perennial river of pleasure...

It is tugging at my heart

That world full of laughter

I want to go back, relive it

For just one more time...

Pushing aside the barriers

Caring not what the world thinks

I step out into the downpour, breaking free

Free from the amazingly ordinary

Free to be the one I truly am...

These tears you see are not of pain

It is a joy so intense

It is running through my veins

I am coming to life...

My hearts skips several beats

The burden of all these years falls off

Just as rain falls down from up above

Each drop on a joy ride...
