Washed by the Rain | Songs for the Great Turning

by Gretchen Sleicher

Lyrics

Part 1

Everything's washed by the rain
The sun has come out
There is blue sky
Amid the clouds
That brought the rain
That washed it all clean

Parts 2 and 3

The rain falls
The sun and sky and clouds and rain
Washed it all clean

Notes

Take this as a slice of life, a moment of exuberance at seeing the sun come out after a rain, then noticing the clouds still there amid the blue sky, with gladness for the rain they have brought. Or take it as an honoring of the difficulties that are a necessary precursor to the opening up of joy.
