and those who depart wish us to carry on
with even more strength and purpose than before...

Just yesterday morning I thought of you, dear,
about your fire and your pouring rain;
I wondered if you were there,
or, if you have gone,
as plans ever change, and life moves ever on
(so I thought I’d sing this little poem for you...)
.
Ooooo, I've seen fire, and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
but I always thought that I would see you, here, baby,
just one more time again...
.
.
I find you, now, feeling down, you've just lost a friend
who, I believe, is looking down from Heaven upon all of us
until our bodies ache and our own times are at hand,
for I don't think we could make it any other way...
.
Yeeess, you've seen fire and you've seen rain,
you've see saddened days that you thought would never end;
you've see lonely times when you could not find your friends,
but I hope you know, that you will find us here, waiting for you,
one more time again...
.
.
Now in your fire, and in your rain
the warm sun may fade away
and a cold wind blow through broken bows
that will turn your head around;
nothing seems to matter when all ends and all fades
with sweet dreams and flying machines
falling in shattered pieces on the ground...
Mmmm, we've seen fire and we've seen rain
we've seen sunny days that we thought would never end
we've felt lonely times and together we have spent
times when we always thought we'd see each other,
one more time, again, now...
.
In the past you've held my heart
helped it heal and mend,
I still have small pieces of your tenderness;
so here, take this ray, keep it close, hold on fast,
though it's quite old, it still is warm,
and forever it will last...
.
This warmth, it's like fire, and it's like rain,
you know it well- you gave it to me when
I was lost and down, and searching for a friend...
so in this fire and rain, can we find each other,
one more time again?
.
Will I see you, will I see you one more time again?
Will I see you? Will I see you through the fire and rain?
You've got to reach out and grab hold of one another again.
You've got to reach out, reach out through the fire and rain...
and then we'll be together, baby,
just one more time again.
