If the Rain Must Fall
Embracing Life's Storms: Love's Resilience in 'If the Rain Must Fall'
Lyrics
Oh life can be strange
Life is unpredictable and filled with unexpected events.
Good and bad in so many ways
There are both positive and negative aspects to life.
And in time you will find
With time, you will come to realize that things may not be as they initially appear.
That things are not always what they seem
Appearances can be deceiving; things may have hidden meanings.
Well I've got something to say
The speaker has something important to express.
But you might laugh, joke or run away
Anticipation of a potentially negative reaction from others.
cause I'm awkward and nervous
The speaker feels socially awkward and nervous.
Sometimes I don't say much at all
Admitting difficulty in verbal expression at times.
But if the rain must fall
Contemplation of facing challenges or difficulties.
If I lose it all
Acceptance of potential loss or setbacks.
If the world comes down and takes my soul
Facing the possibility of losing one's essence or identity.
If the sky turns black
Imagining a bleak and difficult situation.
And there's no no way back
Confronting a situation with no apparent solution.
It won't matter much to me
Expressing a lack of concern for external circumstances if the speaker has the love of someone special.
If I had you
Stating the importance of having the person addressed in the lyrics.
All I need is your love
Declaring that love is the only necessity.
That's all I need
Reiterating the sole importance of love.
All I need is your love
Reaffirming the significance of having love in life.
Oh well dreams can come true
Highlighting the potential realization of dreams.
If you know inside you really want them to or you can sit you can wait
Emphasizing the importance of inner desire and proactive effort in achieving dreams.
You can leave your fate in someone elses hands
Contrasting between taking control of one's fate and leaving it to chance.
Oh but I, I want you
Expressing a strong desire for the person being addressed.
And nothing else can make me feel the way you do
Asserting that the person's presence is irreplaceable.
So I'm waiting, I'm wishing
Waiting and hoping for a romantic connection with the person.
That it's me you'll be holding tonight and every night
Expressing a desire to be held by the person every night.
