I dont need your umbrella Thats okay, I like the rain Let the sky fall on me While everyone else complains I learned a lot from Gene Kelly When it pours, it makes me sing With the clouds above me Covering everything
Not long ago I misjudged it I thought only smiles would do Now I see I need The tears and frowns too Slowly drenched in drizzle No rubber boots, no parasol Its not a rollercoaster Without the rise and fall
Im riding it out Riding it out Riding it out Ill hold my ground Im riding it out Staring it down Holding my ground Ill ride it out I feel my roots digging in to the soil Yeah its feeding me I feel the truth is a friend of the toil Now its leading me
Ill dance around the lamppost With my ghosts, Ill take them on The streets return an echo The crowds have all gone Snuggled deep in their snail shells Just as well, its alright to hide As for me, I need to Breathe the air outside
Im riding it out Riding it out Riding it out Ill hold my ground Im riding it out Staring it down Holding my ground Ill ride it out I feel my roots digging in to the soil Yeah its feeding me I feel the truth is a friend of the toil Now its leading me
