Laughing in the Rain

Even the strongest grip will slip
Even the surest feet will slip
Even the strongest heart will need to hide sometimes

Even the toughest soldier will fall
Even the quietest voice will call
Even the sturdiest ship will sink under sometimes

Just because I have an umbrella
Doesn't mean I don't get wet
Because the rain doesn't always fall the way
We expect it to

Just because I wear a smile
Doesn't mean I don't cry
Because life doesn't always go the way
We expect it to

But when it begins to rain
And the shadows start to drown
I can't help but laugh a little
Because life just loves to turn me upside down

Even the brightest eyes will fade
Even the bravest soul will be afraid sometimes
But that doesn't mean you can't laugh in the rain
