The answers are as follows:
- The rain has been compared to a song because the falling of the rain creates a musical tone. A song has the ability to rise up and engulf the atmosphere, captivating its listeners which is also a task performed by the rain, nourishing the soul as well as the earth.
- The words suggest that with or without change, rain returns to its origin just like a song does.
- The song seeks its fulfilment by travelling around the world and in due course changing and not changing to certain extent and returning to its place of origin.
