You wake in a cloud every morning

Ready to find somewhere to hide 

Turn on the news to thunderstorm warnings 

Prepare for the worst you might find


You open your oversized umbrella

Like mothering arms it keeps you safe

Watching your feet you can't tell that

There is no rain


Step out of the shade and look at the day 

Out here the weather's better

Now the sky comes into view 

Step into the sun, let go of the rung

You've been hanging onto

Then take hold of something new

You might find you

You say you are happy with your choices

You've worked for years on your art

You found a direction and your own voice

So what are you hiding in your heart? 


Chorus

You might like it better there

With the sun shining on your hair


Chorus
