Dancing In The Rain 

couple dancing silhouettes under starry night

Sometimes life beats you down and you go two steps forward and one step back  

You can cry in the storm where no one can hear you or you can dance in the rain 

When everything comes crashing down and washes you away 

Will you cry in the storm or will you dance in the rain 

Will you stand by the fire or get burnt by the flames 

Me I’ll be dancing in the rain by the fire 

Even when life comes crashing down spilled tears affect nothing 

They might bring some sweet release, but they accomplish nothing 

I’ll dance my rain dance asking for more rain to cleanse my soul even as my hearts breaking 

Because I love the rain even when the sky is falling 

I’d rather dance in the rain than cry my eyes out 

And I’d rather warm myself by the flames of my life burning down than allow myself to get burnt by the flames 

Even when it seems there is no hope when it all comes crashing down 

Maybe that’s what you need a clean slate to rebuild 

Because your life was a house of cards built upon shifting sands  

I’ll dance in the rain while rebuilding my life feeling the rain wash away the soot and ash 

Letting the healing rain sooth my weary soul 

When everything comes crashing down 

You can dance in the rain or cry in the storm  

But the tears accomplish little so I’ll dance in the rain 

While sifting through the ashes for anything worth keeping 

So come dance with me in the rain 

And rebuild your life while dancing in the rain
