Fire and Rain
Journey Through Fire and Rain: A Poetic Tale of Loss and Hope
Lyrics
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
Received news of your departure just yesterday morning
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
The plans made for Suzanne led to her end
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
Wrote this song after walking out this morning
I just can't remember who to send it to
Unable to recall who to send the song to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Experienced both challenging and beautiful moments
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Encountered sunny days that seemed endless
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
Faced lonely times when friendship was elusive
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Always anticipated seeing you again despite challenges
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
Appealing to Jesus for guidance and support
You gotta help me make a stand
Requesting assistance to take a firm stand
You've just got to see me through another day
Pleading for help to endure another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
Physical and emotional distress nearing its peak
And I won't make it any other way
Determined to persevere despite challenges
Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Recalling experiences of hardship and beauty
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Remembering sunny days that felt everlasting
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
Enduring lonely times without companionship
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Maintaining hope of reuniting despite adversity
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Reflecting on peaceful times with challenges behind
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Warning about the disruptive nature of cold winds
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Having ample time for discussions about the future
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Reference to shattered dreams and failed endeavors
Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Reiterating the experience of both hardship and beauty
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Recalling sunny days that seemed unending
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
Navigating through lonely times without companionship
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now
Preserving the hope of seeing the beloved once more
Thought I'd see you one more time again
Expressing a desire to see the beloved again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Acknowledging a few positive developments this time
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now
Repeating the anticipation of seeing the beloved amidst challenges
