T’is a great privilege

to dance in the rain

To play with abandon

And never complain

Succumb to a verse

With the sweetest refrain

It’s joyful to dance in the rain.

T’is a great privilege

To bask in the sun

Submit to its warmth,

With your sorrows undone,

To finally slow down

And relax in the fun

Of enjoying the warmth of the sun.

The joy that you feel

When you let yourself go

Allowing yourself just to be

Puts you in touch

With that which hearts know

When they’re allowed to run free.

T’is a great privilege

To romp in the snow

To roll down a hillside

To go with the flow

To fall without worry

Of what lies below

T‘is wondrous to romp in the snow.

All of the wonders

That life has to share

The echoes and rainbows

And girls with red hair

They all hold the power

To banish despair

For anyone willing to dare.

The joy that you feel

When you let yourself go

Allowing yourself just to be

Puts you in touch

With that which hearts know

When they’re allowed to run free.

T’is a great privilege

to dance in the rain

To play with abandon

And never complain

Succumb to a verse

With the sweetest refrain

And not ever have to explain . .

It’s joyful to dance in the rain.
