That’s what I wish I’d do

LET THE RAIN

Sara Bareilles

I wish I were pretty / I wish I were brave / If I owned this city / Then I’d make it behave. / And if I were fearless / Then I’d speak my truth / And the world would hear this / That’s what I wish I’d do, yeah.

If my hands could hold them you’d see / I’d take all these secrets in me / And I’d move and mold them to be / Something I’d set free.

I want to darken in the skies / Open the floodgates up / I want to change my mind / I want to be enough / I want the water in my eyes / I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down / Make a brand new ground / Let the rain come down Let the rain come down / Make a brand new ground / Let the rain come down…

…tonight.

I hold on to worry so tight / It’s safe in here right next to my heart / Who now shouts at the top of her voice:

“Let me go! Let me out! This was not my choice!”

And I always felt it before / That the world was filled with much more / Than the drowning soul I’ve learned to be / I just need the rain to remind me.

I want to darken in the skies / Open the floodgates up / I want to change my mind / I want to be enough / I want the water in my eyes / I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down / Make a brand new ground / Let the rain come down Let the rain come down / Make a brand new ground / Let the rain come down… (4x)

…tonight.

The song I’d be playing all year round—actually, all through out the time I’m still in this state.
