I learned the word goodbye today
It hovered in the air before I could tear away
At first you don’t secede
But I made my way unaccompanied
Living and walking through a dream
As far from space and time
As anyone can be
That’s all I knew of you
And I had no clue
It too might be true of me
Unbroken were my thoughts
Until the water split my face
Then I gathered in the darkness
And found a new place
And I have waited all my life
To feel the way I do tonight
Whatever else may come to light
I’m grateful for the rain
I was dead to the world then
I kissed a misty breeze and I was born again
Guilt walled us in
Now I don’t know where to go
But I know where to begin
Shadowy figures
Were the people I called friends
More present to me now
Then they ever were then
And I have waited all my life
To feel the way I do tonight
Whatever else may come to light
I’m grateful for the rain
Darker hours may come
But our day is done
Open up to the rain
And step into the sun
