I Know My Heart Is Heavy...

All my life, I ran after raindrops, trying to catch them, flailing, failing, smiling, grinning, crying, 

Now, I sit still, gazing knowingly,  

It was a wasted life, oh, was it, 

I wouldn't be the sage, that I'm, 

You see, to live, you've to fall, 

But, never fall and live like me, 

I never learn my lesson, see I'm at it again, 

I know, I'll never catch, but, for the smile of it, with my white, saved beard.
