Rainy Day

Henceforth, when the sky is dark and full of rain
Bring shelter and light to cheer your day
And when the wind blows away your hat
Put down your lamp and start to dance
Spin around the great puddle
Eventually stomping right through it
Splashing in both the water and the mud
The rain the washes it all away
Then suddenly the brightness within shines through
And you realize you don't need the hat and the lamp
Because the sky is bright and clear
