{{quote|By my senior year, I talked to my choir teacher and told her that I've written a choir piece and that I would love to show it to her.

I was definitely more nervous directing than I would have been if I was just one person in the choir, but we had a few months to rehearse the song. So every day when we go to choir class we'd work on that one, and my teacher, who's so supportive and so cool to me, and really pushed me to do even more than what I was asked to do, because I wasn't asking to step up in front and direct the choir, but she wanted me to. We started out just performing the song that I wrote for the choir at the choir performance, and they liked it so much that they asked us to do it at graduation too. So that was really, really special.}} | |||

Listen listen
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen listen
Listen to each drop of rain [listen listen]
Whispering secrets in vain [listen listen]
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground
Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just too hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain
Listen listen listen listen listen
Listen to the rain
Weeping
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen [listen] listen
I stand alone in the storm [listen listen]
Suddenly sweet words take hold [listen listen]
Hurry, they say, for you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
You may feel you're alone[3]
But I'm here still with you
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh
[Listen]
