As You Lean Into the Light

Gentle rain

Here it comes again

Rattling 'round your window, threatening pain

Coming on like a friend, but you know better than

Yesterday that held you by a different hand

Hail and stone

And all that's gone

When everything that passes, cuts to the bone

Turning like a wheel dragging a heavy stone

A weight that ties you down that you will never own

Strange to see, a paper smile on thee

When once you moved and light the room

For us all to be

Now if I could be the sun I'd shine in your life

If I could be the rain, I'd rain from your eyes

And I'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside
