“Dance in Rain”

“24×36” Acrylic on Canvas

 

This is an original work based on the song “Dance in Rain” by singer/songwriter Charles Wesley Godwin, co-written with Zach McCord.

Lyrics by Charles Wesley Godwin and Zach McCord.

Those new eyes looked at me, born desire to live free. I’ll show you how to dance in rain, stretch your arms out like planes.

Storms will come to pass, every ceilings made of glass. You got strength enough to stand, got your mama’s strong right hand.

If I go before my time

Know that you hold this heart of mine

Bend but do not break

Don’t miss the happens that you shake, and dance in the rain.

Walk with words from your old man, when I’m part of this land. Hope you remember now and then,

And dance in the rain, dance in the rain

Life will carve its lines in you, that much I know is true. I hope you never walk the floor, wish you well and so much more.

I’ve shown you how to chase a dream, with every fiber of your being

Scratch and claw with mad desire, Set those old growth hills on fire

If I go before my time, know that you hold this heart of mine

Bend but do not break, don’t miss the habits that you shake,

and dance in the rain.

Walk with words from your old man, when I’m part of this land.

Hope you remember now and then, and dance in the rain,

dance in the rain, dance in the rain, dance in the rain.

I hope and pray they do,

if those dreams don’t come true,

know that your daddy’s proud of you.
