Dance in the Rain

INTRO – SPOKEN, OVER A SOFT GUITAR RIFF

Yeah!

I see the madness, I see the pain.

I see the people going through the rain.

But what can I do?

I won't let the world steal my sunshine.

Life is short, my people!

Let's live!

CHORUS – SOULFUL, CATCHY AND MELODIC

I'm living my best life, oh-oh!

Even when the whole world goes wrong.

I go dance in the rain, sing my song,

Tomorrow is never promised for long.

I'm living my best life, hey-hey!

Got my scars but I'm still okay.

If the world won't give me a reason to smile,

I'll create my own happiness today!

VERSE 1 – 16 BARS, CONSCIOUS RAP

I wake up every morning, another battle to fight,

Bills on the table, still I'm chasing the light.

Everybody wants a piece, everybody wants more,

Some are sleeping on the streets, some are buying the floor.

My dreams don't pay the rent, but I still dream big,

Life is not a rehearsal, so I dance to the gig.

I've seen good men broken, seen bad men rise,

Seen truth get buried underneath political lies.

The system is a circus, everybody wants a crown,

The ones who broke the ladder tell us not to look down.

But I refuse to let their madness become my disease,

I need a little laughter, I deserve some peace.

I've got people that I love, got a life to embrace,

I won't spend all my years with a frown on my face.

The world can keep its problems, I've got living to do,

I can't fix everything, but I can make it through.

CHORUS

I'm living my best life, oh-oh!

Even when the whole world goes wrong.

I go dance in the rain, sing my song,

Tomorrow is never promised for long.

I'm living my best life, hey-hey!

Got my scars but I'm still okay.

If the world won't give me a reason to smile,

I'll create my own happiness today!

VERSE 2 – 16 BARS, HARDER RAP DELIVERY

My country needs healing, the whole world needs grace,

War in the headlines, hate all over the place.

Everybody is angry, everybody takes sides,

While the innocent are paying for the leaders' pride.

Climate keeps changing, the oceans are crying,

People are making fortunes while the poor keep dying.

Social media smiling, real life falling apart,

Everybody wants attention, nobody wants a heart.

But I won't let the darkness dictate how I shine,

I won't postpone my happiness till the stars align.

I'll take a little road trip, let the mountains call,

Catch a fish by the river, forget the noise and all.

I'll raise a glass with my people, let the music play,

Kiss the ones I love and be grateful for today.

I don't need a perfect world to feel alive,

As long as there's a little hope, I'll continue to thrive.

BRIDGE – HALF-TIME, SOULFUL AND EMOTIONAL

One life, one chance,

One heart, one dance.

The rain will fall,

The sun will rise.

We're only here for a little while.

So love a little deeper,

Laugh a little louder,

Hold your people closer,

Make this moment matter!

FINAL CHORUS – FULL BAND, BIG SOULFUL DELIVERY

I'm living my best life, oh-oh!

Even when the whole world goes wrong.

I go dance in the rain, sing my song,

Tomorrow is never promised for long.

I'm living my best life, hey-hey!

Got my scars but I'm still okay.

If the world won't give me a reason to smile,

I'll create my own happiness today!

OUTRO – CHORUS FADES WITH AD-LIBS

Oh, I'm living!

Still breathing!

Still dreaming!

Still believing!

The world ain't perfect...

But this life is mine!

I'm living my best life!
