rain falls - you know it's got to rain.
|
the sky lifts it up and lets it down again.
|
and it's alright - you must accept your part,
|
being the first to finish or the last to start.
|
and when you meet me on the ledge,
|
we'll all be singing out again.
|
and if you must, then jump away.
|
i'm not afraid - we'll meet another day.
|
flame burns - it burns its fuel away.
|
it lights up the dark night and warms the cold cold day.
|
but if you burn too strong you might expend your heart,
|
being the first to finish and the last to start.
