Is it changing? Is it stumbling?
Crossing all its limits,
is my heart losing its path and running astray?
Who is she, like a tiny flower petal?
Arriving at the doorway of my heart,
she is rain longing to touch me.
In a dry, moistureless forest,
is this a gathering of clouds?
In a nest grown completely dark,
is this the break of dawn?
In a dry, moistureless forest,
is this a gathering of clouds?
In a nest grown completely dark,
is this the break of dawn?
A tiny drop of rain
has fallen onto the soil, girl.
My very soul is bursting,
my body is trembling,
and you leave me aching with longing, girl.
A tiny drop of rain
has fallen onto the soil, girl.
My very soul is bursting,
my body is trembling,
and you leave me aching with longing, girl.
Is it changing? Is it stumbling?
Crossing all its limits,
is my heart losing its path and running astray?
Is this unwanted? Will it bring needless trouble?
Without my knowing, is my heart turning another way?
A fresh scent drifts along with the wind,
as so many thoughts scatter and stir every day.
All kinds of new thoughts,
and so many colors seek a single path.
The sounds that silence brings
carry meanings that words could never speak.
A tiny drop of rain
has fallen onto the soil, girl.
My very soul is bursting,
my body is trembling,
and you leave me aching with longing, girl.
A tiny drop of rain
has fallen onto the soil, girl.
My very soul is bursting,
my body is trembling,
and you leave me aching with longing, girl.

Crossing all its limits,
is my heart losing its path and running astray?
Who is she, like a tiny flower petal?
Arriving at the doorway of my heart,
she is rain longing to touch me.
In a dry, moistureless forest,
is this a gathering of clouds?

is this the break of dawn?
In a dry, moistureless forest,
is this a gathering of clouds?
In a nest grown completely dark,
is this the break of dawn?

Abhijith Anilkumar's soulful vocal delivery emphasizes the thrill and vulnerability of losing control to love.
