Something About The Rain

You could break the chains of the present woes,

Dancing in the broken chains of water streaming from God's wet hands.

The sobriety of life comes alive–

Dances and twirls around your body

Tell you there could be moments of chills,

Where your sweats and tears would be washed down,

Despite the scorching sun a pool of time ago.

And if you're bold enough to be a baby again,

Bold enough

To dance in the rain like a child while it drops,

You could step into the shoes of freedom once more,

You could break the chains of the present woes,

Dancing in the broken chains of water streaming from God's wet hands.

"Má ṣe s'ojo, ọmọ mi, jó nínú òjò",
