Having to Be for Franziska on a rainy day The clouds are low and heavy with snow And the wind is about to blow Over the mountain that mounts the sky Blow me a rainbow now as I Wonder about it under the mist Of it all in the falling rain Across the valley where I remain Glad I was too mad to resist When I had to be mad to let go When it was in the hands of fate Then because it was too late to wait Whether to but whether or not To get it the only choice I got Let go to forget everything To get to end up by transcending Having to fall to rise the way I did to my surprise anyway Here for my Hollywood ending The sky says to me and so I say There must be some reason for me To get to and not forget to be Having been worse the better to Be my best for the rest to come true This must be it and how I know It is now is somehow I persist Though many seasons having been Having to be here I am again The universe and I insist Steven Curtis Lance
