It Always Rains on Good Friday

It always rains Good Friday...Always has, as long as I remember. Good Friday is a moody day...But on Easter the sun always shines. That’s the truth.

-Walter Wangerin, The Orphean Passages, 93.

Rain

I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And poured into my brain,
So pardon the wild, crazy thing I just said—
I just ain't the same since there's rain in my head.

I walk kinda careful,
I turn around slow,
I can't run or jump
Cause I might overflow.
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of rain in my head.

-Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

Awakening

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth in pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, but you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream
We're awakening

-Switchfoot
