I wrote this about my recent struggle with depression. Depression is a scary beast. It can take on a life of its own, and before you know it, you find yourself sinking. I don’t want that to happen to me, so I wrote this to motivate myself. I suppose it could also be interpreted as a song about a romantic relationship too. What do you think, friends? xoxo
You want me to fall, but they’ll be no bruises
Not on this heart, no
I’ll keep holding tight to the ground I’m standing on
You can try to pull, but I won’t fall down
I’ve suffered, I’ve wondered and there were days I thought I’d never recover
So let the rain pour down on me, ’cause when the sun comes around I’ll see
That beautiful rainbow
That magical rainbow
That shining rainbow
It’s like I just woke up for the first time
Seeing all the colors multiply
Like a rainbow across the sky
And I know I don’t have to be afraid
‘Cause nothing is ever going to be the same
I’ve suffered, I’ve wondered and there were days I thought I’d never recover
So let the rain pour down on me, ’cause when the sun comes around I’ll see
That beautiful rainbow
That magical rainbow
That shining rainbow
So go ahead, try to get me to surrender
You’ll see I’m stronger than before
Stronger than before, stronger than before
The tides have turned, I’ve never seen the skies so blue
And I’ve learned it’s time for my day in the sun
I’ve suffered, I’ve wondered and there were days I thought I’d never recover
So let the rain pour down on me, ’cause when the sun comes around I’ll see
That beautiful rainbow
That magical rainbow
That shining rainbow
I’ve suffered, I’ve wondered and there were days I thought I’d never recover
So let the rain pour down on me, ’cause when the sun comes around I’ll see
That beautiful rainbow
That magical rainbow
That shining rainbow

This is absolutely beautiful – depression is something I think we all confront in some way or form (even if not within ourselves, with those in our circle). A very difficult, but universal, challenge.
