Marching with the Rain

Sidewalk shining

Tiny rivers at my shoes

Street signs blurring

In a misty silver blue

Breath in the cool

Let the day drip off my mind

Droplets drum the fabric

In a rhythm soft and kind

Under this umbrella

Everything is slow

Every little raindrop tells me “let it go”

Footsteps in a puddle

Washing out the noise

Even in the downpour

I can hear my voice

Under this umbrella

I can start again

Every quiet heartbeat marching with the rain

Phone in pocket

All the buzzing far away

Windows glowing

But I’m wandering astray

Laugh at the splash

When my heel slips off the line (oh yeah)

Sky feels heavy

But my shoulders feel just fine

Under this umbrella

Everything is slow

Every little raindrop tells me “let it go”

Footsteps in a puddle

Washing out the noise

Even in the downpour

I can hear my voice

Under this umbrella

I can start again

Every quiet heartbeat marching with the rain

Maybe I was running

From a day that never ends

Here inside the showered dark

I find a gentle friend

Raindrops on the canvas

Paint a promise through the gray

Every tiny tapping saying

“Hey

You made it through today” (hey!)

Under this umbrella

Everything is slow

Every little raindrop tells me “let it go”

Footsteps in a puddle

Washing out the noise

Even in the downpour

I can hear my voice

Under this umbrella

I can start again

Every quiet heartbeat marching with the rain
