Weatherman

The weatherman came knocking on my door

Said, there's gonna be a cloudy overcast

With a chance of a storm

I've got the sun in my pocket and I want you to take it

Put it in your heart where the clouds can't block it

This what he said

And I said, no sir

'Cause I'm doing just fine

The sky is clear and I can feel the sunshine

And he said, let me know if you change your mind

You've gotta learn how to shine

'Cause the days get cold and dark sometimes

And you're gonna need the sun to survive

You've gotta learn how to shine

'Cause when the sun goes down, it's the dark of night

And you're gonna need to shine your light

Woke up to a cloud hanging over me

Rain is coming down over only me

I see people everywhere, but they don't share in my pain

They can't see my clouds, they can't feel my rain

I wear a smile that's fake 'cause I'm too proud to cry

Pretend the weather's great 'cause it's easier to lie

I don't know when the weather will clear

I don't know how much more I can bear

Oh, I've gotta learn how to shine

'Cause I don't know when the storm will pass by

Or by then if I leave 'em with a sound mind

I've gotta learn how to shine

'Cause I'm tired of living like this

I need to overcome the darkness, yeah

Now it's 'bout time I have a talk

With the weatherman

Ask him to take away the clouds

And let the sun shine again

And I don't know if he's even there

Or if he heard my little prayer

'Cause I asked three times

And the clouds didn't go away, they're still here

It's 'cause I'm telling you no

It's just the way life is

Storms will come and storms will go

And you've gotta last, no matter the forecast

Now I've got the sun in my pocket and I want you to take it

Put it in your heart where the clouds can't block it

And don't you just let it lay up in you

Darkness

Baby, you've gotta learn how to shine

And if the clouds aren't there to pick a fight

You won't learn how to shine bright

You've gotta learn how to shine

And if the rain stopped now and said goodbye

Then you wouldn't need the sun to shine from inside

You've gotta learn how to shine

'Cause you never know if your light will be the hope

For somebody else that's all alone

Yeah, yes
