we should catch the rain

All too soon old age, comes pounding at the door We can't go back and what is left, won't give us any more It is a single journey, can't return and go again We cannot right the wrongs, which echo in the end It seems a bit unfair, to learn along the way The knowledge needed then, comes some later day There are so many roads, we traveveled getting here The map was flawed, the compass wasn't clear Too many times we lost our way, not knowimg till the end But knowing that today, can't fix the wrong back then The many spears and arrows, we hurled along the way Though drenched in all our sorrow, belong to yesterday Could I return and stand your place, the arrows would be mine I'd spread my quilty arms and keep you safe behind Love comes all too soon in life, it falls on us like rain and in between the drops, the sting of hurt and pain We learn to use umbrellas; the rain rolls off the side then looking back we see the road, where all the rain has died We see too many arrows, that tell us where we've been The rain is gone and we don't know, if it will come again I can't go back to where it fell, life won't tell me how Lifes a single journey and all it gives is now Today the whisper lingers, your arrows hit the mark and all your sorrow can't remove an arrow to the heart So sad to find the answer which I needed then, today I should have traded arrows, for umbrellas every day Should have turned them to the rain, spread them all around because the way to use umbrellas, is to turn them upside down.
