Raining in my heart
Raining in my heart
Its raining in my heart
Thunder and lightning
Ripping through my happiness
The trees shading me from the heat
No more, standing tall like the oak
Been cut down blocking my gladness
One after another the shingles from my rooftop is
Blown across red skies at sunset
Making my home vulnerable to the raining in my heart
The stars that once guided my path
Fell to the ground that Friday evening
When the doctor said I know why you can’t walk
Come let me tell you the truth
I’m sure it’s MS, but let’s rule out cancer
Get a spinal tap, more blood work come back next month
Its raining in my heart
Thunder and lightning
Ripping through my happiness
The trees shading me from the heat
No more, standing tall like the oak
Been cut down blocking my gladness
One after another the shingles from my rooftop is
Blown across red skies at sunset
Making my home vulnerable to the raining in my heart
The stars that once guided my path
Fell to the ground that Friday evening
When the doctor said I know why you can’t walk
Come let me tell you the truth
I’m sure it’s MS, but let’s rule out cancer
Get a spinal tap, more blood work come back next month
