Rain Check by Melodie Yvonne

A rain check on my moral gain
Will not be good another day
You grow & learn & let in change
Or else you wilt & fade away

I know ‘cause I got way off track
Got stuck in place a while back
And now I’ve got to get me movin’
Got to get myself a’groovin’

Got to find the hope I lost
I’m in too deep, my soul’s the cost
And I’m no longer one to lose
I’m not the one that’s all confused

I’ll not sit here & waste away
While you stay gone another day
I’m not the one that’s taking flight
Now I’m the one that’s here to fight

A rain check on our moral gain
Will not be good another day
We grow & learn & let in change
Or else we’ll wilt & fade away
