What is Life?

What is life?

Is it a castle

with golden ballrooms?

What is life?

Is it when rain

shines like a diamond?

What is life...

You may never know.

I'll tell you what.

Meet me tomorrow. Rain or shine.

Five a.m. Where stars get sleepy and the sun turns on.

The bottom of the valley will

be our start. I

am here! Hellooo! AAA!

You are here! (hahaha) Oh yeah!

You did it!

It rains like hell! (hahaha)

Take a few more leaves to cover your neck.

No time to waste.

(ooh) You ride first...

I'll follow.

Pinecones dancing on their heels,

taken by the wind

to the clouds,

surfing over the darkened sky,

playing a wet game

on a pond.

Silence in the air.

(fuu) No birds' morning talk.

(fuu) Only rain. (fuuuu) Only wheels.

Puddles! Splashing! Mushing! Splashing!

Slashing my bike through muddy blobs!

Rain is dripping

from my nose.

Is this my sweat

or am I wet?

(ooh) Who knows...

Riding on a cloud,

sipping rain

with every push, splashing laughter around.

Where is the water...

and where am I?

Soosh! Woosh! On the wet trail,

through the forest, through the wetland.

Where are the people?

They told us to stay in the basement or hide in a

cave. They're scared of the rain.

We're not.

Trees are wearing

diamond shoes.

Pinecones dancing on high heels.

The world is swirling,

slurping, mashing

under the tires.

(hah) Don't stop.

Push hard. Harder. Push!

Long trip

to the first top.

My shirt is smushing against my skin.

The mud is slipping into my feet.

I ate a mosquito!

Gross! (hahaha) He'll never bite my bloody soul again!!!

(hahaha) Rain is bursting

from my eyes. My throat is tight.

My heart keeps pumping this incredible joy.

Who am

I?

Who am I?

(ahhh) Silly, maybe. (haha) I don't care.

Push your pedals! Harder!

Harder!

Harder! On this wet hill.

Just a few more.

Come on! One more!

One more! The

top is here.

You did it. I did it.

Don't ask me

what is life.

Close my eyes. Soft

grass. Light... LIGHT... The light is in my

lungs. (breath) I am

back.

(hahaha) It is your life.

Go into

the rain. And make

the dream wet. (haha) Cry.

And laugh. And sweat inside

your

wet clothes. Push

your pedals. Feel the rain.

Feel the grass. Feel the sun.

Don't dream your life away.

(breath) Just breathe...

and live.

Ride through the rain.
