Sometimes rains comes to clean the wounds. Sometimes only a drop (of rain) can defeat a drought.
And why cry? What for? If you feel the pain
of sorrow, you try to forget.
And why suffer? What for? If that is life,
you have to live it!
I’m going to laugh. I’m going to dance.
I’m going to live my life!
I’m going to laugh. I’m going to dance. I’m going to live my life!
