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 [Chorus:] 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? 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 might like it better there With the sun shining on your hair 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
