about

I wrote this song for my sister as I was leaving for college. I wanted her to be okay and grow to be a great person.

lyrics

The rain falls
Sheltered in beneath a small wooden house
The sky brings
A fear within the mind, a dark reality
It’s hard to see
When going in blind and suffer painfully
Please don’t worry, speak very softly,
Keep your head high, and you’ll be alright

I hear that dogs howl, “let us out.”
I hear the kids scream, “break unto the dawn.”
The radio is scratching, “is anyone there?”
I hear the ground pound Zero
“This is no safe place.”

It continues to fall
Bright sunny days, illusions of the eye
Cold, cement walls
Keep my body warm, safe away from harm
Please don’t worry, the world shows some mercy
Keep your head high and you’ll be alright

Call me in a little while
When the rain does pass
Just to let me know that you’re alright

I remember calling
When I saw the rain pass
Hoping I would hear that you’re alright

I know you said that you would call
But you’re not home
Standing in the pouring rain, “I’m alright.”

I hear that dogs howl, “let us out.”
I hear the kids scream, “break unto the dawn.”
The radio is scratching, “is anyone there?”
I hear the ground pound Zero
“This is my safe place.”
