For Every Drop of Rain

For every drop of rain
There is a might have been

For every darkened hour
A light will shine again

In each pit of despair
A broken hope will mend

Each futile noble war
Must be fought and lost again

A weeping mother searches
For every missing babe

And angry sons regret
Each beloved grave

With every fallen flower
Tender daughters become brave

In all gardens of Gethsemane
A lost Messiah prays

And everything created
Our Father tries to save
