A drop of rain hits a drought-stricken ground,
and everything around comes to life at once,
that is how you make me feel.
The weather clears out as the storm slows down,
and the sailor is relieved to lead the voyage further,
that is how you make me feel.
The rusty, old cage hatch is finally broken,
and the bird can use its wings for what they’re made,
that is how you make me feel.
alive, grateful, and free.
