I Feel Happy When It Rains

I Feel Happy When It Rains

When the clouds are crying

Shouldn’t I be crying too?

When winds are blowing

Shouldn’t I be gloomy too?

But I feel happy when it rains

When thunder strikes

When the clouds weep

When it lets go

of all it holds within

I feel happy when it rains

The sunshine after the storm

The smile after the cry

To let go is hard

But after it’s done

The rainbow shines

I shine

I feel happy when it rains

I feel happy to let go

Let go of days

not mine anymore

Excellent. Succint but well-stated. "I feel happy to let it go" I'm not going to try to cloud this up with my clumsy summary.
