When you dig my grave, can you make it shallow, so that I can feel the rain.

Life is so precious, and we never know when we are going to be taken away from those we love, for whatever reason God (or whatever you personally think rules/controls our fates)wants us for. You can live to see everything, or die before all the bittersweet moments everyone lives for. You can be the best person in the world, or the most evil but there is always a purpose in everything that happens. Even after death, we all thrive to feel reality, which is rain, but rain is also metaphorical of cleansing or purging of the soul, so it is through death and the rain that occurs post-mortem is a way those who have died in vain, pass onto the other side.
