Pain Is As Natural As The Rain 

Darling I know pain is as natural as the rain 

But I didn’t count on quite this much this early on in my life 

We’re surviving though, we’re living, but are we stronger 

I know hate is always waiting at the gate as is pain but don’t let the hate through the gate 

Pain comes whether you open the gate or not but hate is a choice 

I’m tired and I’m worn the pain of the last decade has been heavy on my mind 

The loss of a grandparent, the ending of a relationship I thought would last forever 

The loss of a father, the pain of realizing people weren’t who you thought they were 

Pain is as natural as the rain but I didn’t expect so much of it in the last 10 years 

I know the struggle ends but when does it end 

Does it only end when we’re dead 

When we move on to our final glorious end 

Let me see redemption win let me see the struggle end 

Let your grace fill this place and fill this heart 

Let your power bring forth reconciliation unto me 

Because pain is as natural as the rain but my response to it doesn’t have to be 

My response doesn’t have to be a knee jerk reaction 

I can process it and react in a healthy way 

There is hope in between the clouds when the sun come shining down joy fills the air 

It’s just as natural as the rain and the sun peeking through the clouds 

I just have to wait for the sun to rear its head and banish the clouds away 

So, I can get a little breathing room.
