Rainy Day

? 

It started out just like any other day,

Every little problem seemed to come my way,

I just? needed to quit and disappear,

To have one day that was sunny and clear.

? 

If I'd have? had a horse to ride away,

I would saddled her up and left here today,

Surely there has to be more to this life,

Than living each day? under stress and strife.

? 

Now it's raining outside and it's calling to me,

Cleansing my soul and setting me free.

My thoughts are clearing up by the minute,

This is my world and I'm glad I'm in it!

? 

I use to think I needed a life of ease,

Just let me live my life the way that I please,

I won't try to make any changes in you,

I won't criticize all the things you do.

? 

It started out just like any other day,

Then the rain came, washed my troubles away.

I feel so much better, I've eased the pain,

I've found my strength by standing in the rain!
