You can say the rain is seeping in underneath your raincoat to your skin; letting go all you’ve held within. You can say our time is in the past. Better days; it all went by so fast in my own way—it won’t last. The sun won’t always shine, but I think I’m doing fine. It can rain on my parade; my umbrella’s torn and frayed. So, if you want to let me be; if you want to set me free, it’s all right by me. You can say I can’t see it through. You can say I don’t know what to do, but I say it’s not true. The sun won’t always shine, but I think I’m doing fine. It can rain on my parade; my umbrella’s torn and frayed. So, if you want to let me be; if you want to set me free, it’s all right by me. I’m gonna shake me up – listen to my heart and just lean on luck – ma-ake a brand new start. Try to control my fear – I may be unknown but I can make it here – make it on my own. The sun won’t always shine (you can say) but I think I’m doing fine (rain is seeping in). It can rain on my parade (underneath). My umbrella’s torn and frayed (your raincoat to your skin). So, if you want to let me be (letting go); if you want to set me free (all you’ve held within), it’s all right by me.
