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
