Run from the rain
As it’s starting to fall
You attempt to stay dry
You give it your all
Only to find
Once it’s caught up with you
It’s nice and refreshing
It washes straight through
The sweat you’ve been drenched in
It’s gone, now you’re clean
But still, keep on running
Or else you’ll be seen
By lightning that reaches
Far down to the Earth
Or catch a harsh cold
As the downpour gets worse
