No Invisible Umbrella

so alone
cold and lonely
sorrow curled up
in a little ball

no one else around
not a hug in months
a lonely boy
a lonely man

tears from the sky
rain washing over me
cold and lonely
soaking wet

water cascades down my back
rain runs through my hair
i shiver in cold and wonder
if there's anyone else out there

cold and lonely
sad and alone
sorrow curled up
into a little ball

yet i do not freeze
an inner fire drives me
i am kept warm by a light from the soul
someone out there shields me

the rain still falls on my head
there is no invisible umbrella shielding me
yet i am no longer soaking wet
the inner fire burns bright

ikra emiletë
the inner fire shines
let shadows turn away and run
lonely i may be, alone i am not

one day she'll come
one day we'll find each other
this rain is but temporary
and until then i have the inner fire

the inner fire burns there
there where shadows and rain cannot reach
there within the depths of my soul
there where my heart awaits her
