THUNDERSTORMS
So you never believed that a slow death still means you're dying
Yet now you realize when you look into your eyes
There is no more denying
You thought all was lost when your smile turned to a frown
Never thought you'd feel the warmth of the sun
Or the heat from a flame of fire
With all this dirty rain falling down
So your head hangs low yet you say you feel relieved
That thunderstorms never last forever
As so tightly you hold onto this seed
Hoping someday it shall become a flower
That'll give you hope amongst the weeds
As you find yourself born into a creed
Where you're told to follow when they lead
Yet their roots remain so shallow
And the leaves are showing signs of disease
When everything seems barren and hollow
You seek to find safety beneath a tree
Now you're starting to believe that the candle would burn again
As you now realize that this is now and that was then
As you simply seek to run for cover
To try to stay warm and dry in the rain
