Lyrics
You wake in a cloud every morning
Ready to find somewhere to hide
Put on the news to thunderstorm warnings
Prepare for the worst you might find
You open your over-sized umbrella
Like mothering arms it keeps you safe
But watching your feet you can't tell that
There is no rain
(Chorus)
Step out of the shade, 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 worked for years on your art
You found a direction and your own voice
So what are you hiding in your heart?
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And you might like it better there
With the sun shining on your hair
(Chorus)
