When there's rain, is there always growth?

Do clouds always get a silver lining?

Does fortune favor those with the most?

When there's growth, can it sustain, or is it mowed?

Will some of us always be left pining?

When there's rain, is there always growth?

Where does the energy go after the toast?

It feels like I'm stuck here signing.

Does fortune favor those with the most?

I've been making progress, not to boast.

Though there are imperfections that need refining.

When there's rain, is there always growth?

It helps when my anxiety leaves its post.

In those moments, for courage, I don't need to go mining.

Does fortune favor those with the most?

Through life I want to fly, to soar, not just coast.

This is part of how success I'm defining.

When there's rain, is there always growth?

Does fortune favor those with the most?
