Somehow I'm just hearing this song for the first time today. What a bright spot in what has been a very crazy time in the world. I couldn't help but think of one of my favorite Shakespeare quotes as I read the lyrics:
"I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop,
Who, falling there to find his fellow forth -
Unseen, inquisitive - confounds himself."
I feel like that is such a great comparison to Simon's lines:
"And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain"
That last line: "There but for the grace of you go I" brings that all together so well. This is now my very favorite lyric.
