Gold Underneath the Rain (version 2)

Verse

Grey sky weeping over the rooftops down below

Bare feet on the balcony ledge, letting go of what I know

City lights through raindrops like a thousand tiny stars

Every drop is saying come out here, leave your fears behind

Paper umbrella blowing loose in my hand

Dancing in the puddles like I'm breaking free from land

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why does sadness look so much like gold

Tell me why this broken rain turns into something whole

Chorus

I am crying out for sunshine on a stormy night

I am screaming louder than the thunder, shining through the light

Every tear is falling sideways but I won't hide my face

Because deep down underneath every cloud there's gold beneath the rain

I am breaking open like this was meant to happen tonight

Nothing left of broken me that wants to stay inside

Verse

Taxi drivers shaking their heads, calling out for umbrellas galore

But I don't need one, I'm already learning how to fly once more

Barefoot on the wet pavement, letting every ache fall away

This is what surrender feels like – heavy lifting off my shoulders today

Streetlights blur into a rainbow on the wet glass windowpane

Every sob is washing out the name of fear, replacing it with rain

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why does sadness look so much like gold

Tell me why this broken rain turns into something whole

Chorus

I am crying out for sunshine on a stormy night

I am screaming louder than the thunder, shining through the light

Every tear is falling sideways but I won't hide my face

Because deep down underneath every cloud there's gold beneath the rain

I am breaking open like this was meant to happen tonight

Nothing left of broken me that wants to stay inside

Bridge

Maybe I'm just catching what I lost in the fall

Maybe sorrow is nothing more than a door

Maybe rain and daylight aren't mutually exclusive anymore

So I'll let it pour, I'll let it pour

Chorus

I am crying out for sunshine on a stormy night

I am screaming louder than the thunder, shining through the light

Every tear is falling sideways but I won't hide my face

Because deep down underneath every cloud there's gold beneath the rain

I am breaking open like this was meant to happen tonight

Nothing left of broken me that wants to stay inside
