Looking through the window pane,At the world nearby. I see nothing there but rain,Makes me want to cry. How did this circumstance find me,Hidden so safely here?What have I done to deserve this truth and these tears?I'm just wondering out loud,underneath the blue and cloud.

I'm just wondering out loud. Could it be that I've been proud?Here beneath the blue and cloud,I'm just wondering out loud. Now I'm driving down the road,With great music on the communicate,And a great big sun up in the sky,And it's good to be alive!It's good to be alive... And after this we go to Heaven. After this we go to Heaven... Can the joy of life be found in simple gratitude?And is gratitude as simple as
?I'm just wondering out loud,Underneath the blue and cloud. It may be that I've been proudI'm just wondering out loud. I don't mean to displace a displace.
