[Intro]
[Rain]
[Instrumental, Piano, Saxophone, Flute]
Do you think it looks like rain?
[Break]
Do you think it looks like pain?
[Break]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Will the rain penetrate my brain?
Woah, slow down piercing my crown
[Chorus]
The majesty of gravity
You are a reckoning force
Looking for some levity
To throw you off course
[Break]
Of course!
[Break]
Terminal velocity,
Save me!
[Bridge]
The strain of the rain on the brain
Enough to drive ya insane
[Instrumental]
[Break]
Do you think it looks like rain?
[Break]
Shame, no where to drain
[Break]
[Verse 2]
Precipitation acceleration
Mother’s crying, children dying
[Chorus]
The majesty of gravity
You are a reckoning force
Looking for some levity
To throw you off course
[Break]
Of course!
[Break]
Terminal velocity,
Save me!
[Bridge]
The strain of the rain on the brain
Enough to drive ya insane
[Instrumental]
[Break]
Do you think it looks like rain?
[Break]
Shame, no where to drain
[Break]
[Verse 3]
Size of matter matters
May your area’s surface surface
And save this race
[Chorus]
The majesty of gravity
You are a reckoning force
Looking for some levity
To throw you off course
[Break]
Of course!
[Break]
Terminal velocity,
Save me!
[Bridge]
The strain of the rain on the brain
Enough to drive ya insane
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Do you think it looks like rain?
Do you think we’ll remain… sane?
[End]

The Momentum of Rain is p = mv (p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.)
What prevents gravity from causing rain to pierce my brain?
Gravity is indeed the force that pulls raindrops downward toward the Earth. However, several factors prevent raindrops from piercing through objects like your brain:
- Air Resistance: As raindrops fall through the atmosphere, they encounter air resistance, which slows their descent. This resistance increases with the size of the raindrop and the speed of its fall. For most raindrops, air resistance is sufficient to prevent them from reaching terminal velocity, the speed at which the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance.
- Size of Raindrops: Raindrops are typically small and light enough that they do not possess enough kinetic energy to cause significant damage upon impact. Even larger raindrops, such as those in heavy downpours, are still relatively small compared to solid objects and do not exert enough force to penetrate most materials.
- Surface Area: Raindrops have a relatively large surface area compared to their mass, which further reduces their impact force. This means that even if a raindrop were to hit an object with some force, its impact would be distributed over a larger area, lessening the potential for damage.
- Terminal Velocity: Raindrops reach a maximum speed known as terminal velocity due to air resistance. Once they reach this speed, they no longer accelerate and continue to fall at a constant rate. Terminal velocity varies depending on the size and shape of the raindrop, but it is typically not fast enough to cause harm upon impact with most objects.
In summary, while gravity is responsible for pulling raindrops downward, other factors such as air resistance, raindrop size, surface area, and terminal velocity prevent them from piercing through objects like your brain.
