Note: This has tiny whispers of GokuSanzo if you watch carefully. A poem about Sanzo and Goku.

Listen

Listen to the rain

upon my windowpane

Listen to the song

unsung in my heart

Listen to the voice

of those cursed by Fate

Listen to the words

of the children of today

Listen to the prayers

of the blind, poor, and hungry

Hear them as they plead

to an uncaring God

Hear them as they beg

'Please God have mercy'

When they should really beg

to uncaring people

Why must lives be sacrificed?

Why must we be despised?

Fate is a cruel, unkind deity

We are prove of the clause.

Listen to the rain

Listen to the rain

Upon my windowpane

Listen to the rain

Can you hear it's sound

Can you hear its sound ?

Amid the noise of the city?

Can you hear it's sound?

Like a quiet voice

In the darkness of night

Like a quiet voice

Like a quiet voice

Realizing that

It's the voice of my soul

Realizing that

Realizing that

Listen to the rain

Listen to the rain

Upon my windowpane

Listen to the rain

Listen to the rain

Hear the steady steps

Of one passing by.

Hear the steady steps

Hear the steady steps

Listen as they echo

Down the corridor

Listen as they echo

Listen as they echo

Tragic past matched

By uncertain future

Tragic past matched

By uncertain future

No more waiting in the dark

I will find my light in time

Then and only then

Will I have won

Listen to the rain

Upon my windowpane

Hear its tiny cries

like whispers of unheard pain

Listen as I cry

Asking for one thing

Listen as I beg

For my freedom
