the thunder comes
and then the lightning
the rain gates are opened wide

the rain falls upon this earth
to help the grass grow

the thunder claps with great applause
and the lightning lights up the sky
like the forth of july
and the rain washed away all
the bad of the day

tomorrow comes with chirping birds
and the sun rises above the clouds
a light breeze carries the
hot air balloon over the mountain

with this new day
can we say
i will make it better than yesterday
