The Flood
Temporal Lessons: Life's Flood of Trials & Gratitude
Lyrics
Down came the water
Water descended
And became a flood
Turned into a flood
Flooding our sandy roads
Flooded the pathways made of sand
Pouring into mud
Flowed and transformed them into mud
Down came the water
Water continued to fall
Right into our glass
Entered our containers, but incompletely
But only filled up half of it
Only filled half of what it could
A cup we’d rather pass
We prefer to avoid taking that amount
Let it rain
Expressing allowance for precipitation
Let it rain
-Let it rain
-You let it rain
Directing the allowance for precipitation to you
Let it rain
Expressing allowance for precipitation
Let it rain
-Let it rain
-You let it rain
Directing the allowance for precipitation to you
Up went our praises
Praise ascended
All to no avail
Without resulting in any benefit
Telling our children
Telling stories of the past to our offspring
Of the same old tale
Recounting familiar narratives
Up went our praises (Our praises went up)
Praise ascended
But little did we know
We were unaware
Time is only temporary
Time is transient
We reap of what we sow
We experience consequences based on our actions
Time is only temporary
Time is transient
We reap of what we sow
We experience consequences based on our actions
Let it rain
Expressing allowance for precipitation
You let it rain
Directing the allowance for precipitation to you
Let it rain
Expressing allowance for precipitation
You let it rain
Directing the allowance for precipitation to you
Let it rain
Expressing allowance for precipitation
You let it rain
Directing the allowance for precipitation to you
Let it rain
Expressing allowance for precipitation
