The Rainman:

To be honest we never get along
We seldom ever see eye to eye,
He's always pushing my buttons
Turning my sunshine into cloudy skies.

For he's never happy unless I'm pained
And shedding my tears all over the place,
Yet while all of this is going on
He has the nerve to rub it in my face.

Though I'm bigger than he he's stronger
So he enjoys calling all the shots,
He's always plotting against me
Always winning more times than not.

I tell myself time and time again
This time he's not raining on my parade,
I'll stand up to him if I have to
For once in my Life I won't be afraid.

But everytime he overrides me
And his anger turns into assault,
Then I just close my eyes lower my head
Because I feel like it's all my fault.

No matter what my mood is
There's always that chance he'll show up,
Even though the coast is clear
Any moment he could suddenly blowup.

These days I'm working on myself
To be a much braver person,
Trying to clean up my act
To repair those feelings below the surface.

You could say I'm making amends
Forgiving all that ever brought a tear,
Me the rainman and my poor eyes
That are now as clear as they appear.

I'm putting all my rainy days behind
Drying up the rainman within my eyes,
I've finally built up the courage to face him
But this time with a smile not cries.

Lately I haven't seen him in years
Idle times have made him disappear.
So these days I hold no grudges
Knowing my character is no longer smeared.

I've once again regained my self control
The rainman no longer has his hold,
On the strings of my teardrops
I've finally released his stronghold.

These days it's smooth sailing ahead
For nothing but smiles stain my face,
I'm so very proud of myself
For these days I'm in a much happier place.
