The Rain

It won’t seem to stop raining
I heard it was good luck
So I am not complaining
Nor do I think the rain needs much explaining
Just another symptom of the seasons changing
It’s almost summer again
And the rain is how it does begin
Perhaps it will bring me luck this year
A new job
That is much closer to a career
Still not really in the mood to consume beer
A relationship is not near
But why always seems clear
At least to me
I guess I am something women do not want to see
Or want me to be
Something I am not
Just that guy in the corner who is so hot
Heard that from three other people
But never met you
Or talked to you
So maybe I should change what I do
I sure hope this rain comes through
Brings change to the earth
And changes me too
Cause I am ready for something new
Not really change the things I do
Or believe that it is you
As the one to remake me
For that job is not for thee
It is for me
And Lord Everything
Perhaps I have forgotten them lately
And that is why it has been so rainy
As a reminder
That not everything I want
I will find here
I could move to a new town or city
But that will not help me uncover what’s inside of me
If I stood in the rain
Got wet
And felt all my pain
Then I can start to change
To God is the only one I will have to explain
Use only one word for thy name
Give up on being everyone else’s teacher
Just cause I read the book does not make me a preacher
The rain reminds me
Where I belong
And that is in this universe where I am so small
It is here
In this place
My home
Where I feel safe
Already finished the race
Came in second place
But that’s my number
And a few others too
I am not worried
Nor concerned
I know there is purpose when lightening strikes
And some dead grass burns
In this rain
Lord please let me grow
In this rain
Lord please let me change
In this rain
Lord please let me learn
