Umbrella - No More Kings

I don’t need your umbrella

That’s okay, I like the rain

Let the sky fall on me

While everyone else complains

I learned a lot from Gene Kelly

When it pours, it makes me sing

With the clouds above me

Covering everything

Not long ago I misjudged it

I thought only smiles would do

Now I see I need

The tears and frowns too

Slowly drenched in drizzle

No rubber boots, no parasol

It’s not a rollercoaster

Without the rise and fall

I’m riding it out

Riding it out

Riding it out

I’ll hold my ground

I’m riding it out

Staring it down

Holding my ground

I’ll ride it out

I feel my roots digging in to the soil

Yeah it’s feeding me

I feel the truth is a friend of the toil

Now it’s leading me

I’ll dance around the lamppost

With my ghosts, I’ll take them on

The streets return an echo

The crowds have all gone

Snuggled deep in their snail shells

Just as well, it’s alright to hide

As for me, I need to

Breathe the air outside

I’m riding it out

Riding it out

Riding it out

I’ll hold my ground

I’m riding it out

Staring it down

Holding my ground

I’ll ride it out

I feel my roots digging in to the soil

Yeah it’s feeding me

I feel the truth is a friend of the toil

Now it’s leading me

Thunder’s only a whisper

Sometimes grief can look like fear

No storm can last forever

The sky was born clear

I don’t need your umbrella

That’s okay, I like the rain

Let the sky fall on me
