Rain my life...

true to this very day,
i wish to be a part
of a dream, a fantasy
wherein i can be a shade
a mirage for the nomad
a ray of hope for the lost
a loaf of bread for the famished
a cradle for the orphaned...

doom seems to be lurking
from places all unknown
and none knows where to look
for life is still a mystery
all we can do is try
and i wish you'd let me try
to fulfil my duty, to be me...

i wish to be a solace
to the many in deep despair
to be the earth for the living
to be the shade in the scorching sun
the lake for the thirsty self
the rain for the barren soul...

i wish i could rain myself away...
rain my life away...
