A raindrop I am,
I’m talking to you,
to show you the world,
from my point of view.

My story begins,
in a cloud way up high,
a sudden change in the weather:
I feel out of the sky!

I feel and I feel,
till’ I hit something soft,
a checkered umbrella,
but I quickly slid off.

Soon after that
I got carried away
by a stream of my fellows
all eager to play.

We flowed down the street
to an underground train,
which – later I learned –
was also the drain.

The end of the ride
was the ocean so wide,
where my friend, the good sun,
spotted me on the run.

The heat made me rise,
oh – what a surprise!--
I was back in the sky
in a cloud way up high!
