A Brave Kind of Lonesome

This is my cousin. He has diabetes. He's barely even in High School, and he fights it alone.

This is a brave kind of lonesome.



Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing

and I think it's gonna rain today....

lonely. lonely.

Tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me
The signs of glory
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's gonna rain today.

Lonely. So lonely.

-I Think it's Gonna Rain Today by Bette Midler
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another day has almost come and gone.
I can't imagine what else could go wrong.
Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door.
A single battle lost but not the war.

Cuz tomorrow's another day,
And I'm thirsty any way,
So bring on the rain.

It's almost like the hard times circle round.
A couple drops and they all start coming down.
Yeah, I might feel defeated and I might hang my head.
I might be barely breathing, but I'm not dead, no.

Cuz tomorrow's another day,
And I'm thirsty any way,
So bring on the rain.

No I'm not gonna let it get me down.
I'm not gonna cry.
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight.

Cuz tomorrow's another day,
And I am not afraid,
So bring on the rain.
