Mr. Sun

It's raining outside
The sun is hiding its face
Mr. Sun, please come back out
And say, "hello"

Oh, Mr. Sun, we miss
Your smiling face
Stop the raining, break through the clouds
And shine on us

Interlude

I see and hear you out my window:
Rain, Lightning, and Thunder
Some people say you're awfully scary
But I disagree

Eventually, your time ends here
And you go away
It's only then that my old friend,
Mr. Sun, comes out to play

Interlude

I'm telling you that some time soon
Everything will be OK
As soon as Mr. Sun wakes up,
You can go outside and play

But until then, you might have to
Have to find something else to do
We'll wait inside for the rain to go
I'll wait inside right here with you
It's raining outside

I wrote this yesterday when it was poring outside. It's real mellow, like something you might hear on a Zach Braff movie. I've never written anything like that before, but I like it.
