Fall on me (if it's there for long) (it's gonna fall)

-There's the progress we have found (when the rain)
Reflection on progress found and a way to navigate problems.
A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
Suggests talking around issues and the impact of rain (symbolic of challenges).
Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)

Well, I could keep it above
