Rain Dancing

Feel the beat of the drums
Dance to the rhythm
Let it rain down on me
Thumping my feet
To the beat of the drums
Pour down on me,
For this is why I dance,
I dance for the rain
To come out of the clouds
And free itself onto me
Exhilarate me, determinate me
I dance for this reason
For the reason be,
To be confident, to be persistent
To be free
