• Thunder, thunder far away,
    Wants the rain to fall this day.
    How I wish the sun would stay,
    But thunder, thunder will have its say,
    As it drives the sun so far away.

    But why would the sun stay for me?
    I’m not the only one who sees
    Its shining face through the trees.
    It’s foolish to think one person could keep
    The rain from doing as it pleases.

    Yet I still wish, my silent plea,
    That the sun will stay for me.
    Its warm embrace makes me so happy
    Even as the rain falls free.
