the sea was always dark
and the clouds we're full of blandness
and the rain has never stopped
and nobody wondered why.
the sky was always grey
and the flowers were always sad
and the rain has never stopped
and nobody wondered why.
the grass was never green
and the sun has never shone
and the rain has never stopped
and nobody wondered why.
one day, a girl whispered to the sky
she said why doesn't the sun ever come up anymore?
and the rain still didn't stop
and she wondered why.
the clouds had spoken back and said "there's no more room for the sun"
the girl looked up and frowned
and she always wondered why.
the girl was still curious about this amazing so-called sun
that she read stories to the sea
about how the rain has never stopped
and nobody wondered why.
she told the flowers, then the grass and the sea
about the amazing things she has heard about the sun
how they would become healthy and happy
and now they all wondered why.
the clouds had heard the stories
that the girl had been telling
so they parted their ways
and had shown the girl what she had been missing.
the sea had shown bright
and the clouds had turned white
and the flowers and the grass had become as beautiful as can be.
the clouds then started smiling
because they had missed the sun
and all the perfect joys that their friend had brung.
the world had never been happier
as it danced with the girl
and the rain finally stopped
and everyone knew why.
