Autumn Rain



So there I am on campus today. I'm listening to some Elizabethtown soundtrack tunes on the iPod and just taking my time making it to the streetcar to get home, and all of a sudden... It starts to rain leaves. Literally. It was the most beautiful thing I'd seen in awhile. Subsequently, everything else went well after that. I got a job I'd been hoping for. I had a great conversation with some friends and loved ones. I saw Etown again, and loved it still. Other things also occurred today that should have set me off, but suprisingly, their happening felt planned; like they were supposed to unfold when they did. As I ran some errands later in the day, I decided to take a drive and the following song came on my mix. I realized I was happy for the first time in awhile.

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing

Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen I'm alive
Singing Amen I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
