It pours
While everyone snores
I lay awake
And think as I shake
The sound of thunder
That could wake me from my slumber
Doesn\'t scare me Instead it calms me
Watching the lightning
So bright and daunting
I can barely hear the sound of the rain
Even though it\'s so near
I could normally hear
The rain against my windowpane
But today isn\'t one of those days
Even though I\'m far from home
These little things bring me peace
As I think about the rain
How it could wash over me
Making me feel clean and refreshed
The lightning
How it could light up my life
Just like my family
And the thunder
Rumbling, shaking me
Shaking me to see
What\'s right in front of me
I have a family
Who\'s always there for me
I have a God who cares and loves me
Unconditionally
Forever
And even though I\'m far from home
At least I know I\'m never alone
I know I am here for a reason
Not as an act of treason
I am much better than I once was
And I know now
As everyone else does
That I am strong
Just like the thunder
Just like the lightning
Just like the rain
