Righteous Rain
Dancing Through Life's Storms: Righteous Rain by Anita Lester
Lyrics
I’ve been called a bird a sheep,
Reflection on being labeled various things like a bird and a sheep.
Called a lion,
Acknowledging being called a lion, possibly symbolizing strength or courage.
Called too weak,
Recognizing being called too weak by others.
Been called so many names
Experiencing a multitude of names and identities, leading to forgetfulness of personal abilities.
Nearly forgot that I could dance.
A realization of forgotten dancing abilities due to external judgments.
Took one too many notes this life,
Taking in too much information and experiences in life.
I got twisted round some knife,
Feeling emotionally wounded and manipulated by others.
Meant to cut the mighty down,
Intentionally trying to bring down powerful individuals with a metaphorical knife.
with some elusive crown.
Desiring a position of power represented by an elusive crown.
Oh here it comes again;
A sense of anticipation or repetition of challenges in life.
Righteous rain ,
Introduction of the metaphorical "Righteous rain" that brings a transformative or purifying effect.
Restore my heart!
An appeal for emotional healing and restoration.
I’ve been a wild woman…
Acknowledging a wild and unrestrained nature within oneself.
I need the open sky on me,
Expressing a need for freedom and openness represented by the open sky.
The frenzied clouds,
Describing the chaotic and unpredictable aspects of life through frenzied clouds.
The careless breeze,
Welcoming a carefree and unrestricted breeze into life.
The storm is best upon my knees…
Embracing storms and challenges as opportunities for growth, humility, and self-reflection.
I feel god, I feel at ease.
Feeling a connection to a higher power or a sense of spiritual tranquility.
Flirting from a homemade throne,
Reflecting on a period of self-imposed isolation and arrogance.
I was stupid, was alone
Acknowledging past mistakes and foolishness.
With my mind in Hollywood;
Mentally residing in a fantasy world represented by Hollywood.
My lust on nothing good.
Engaging in unhealthy desires and cravings.
Forgot the touch of my own skin,
Forgetting the importance of self-love and personal touch.
Of the place that I was in,
Being disconnected from the present moment and surroundings.
Of the love I stopped giving,
Neglecting the act of giving love to oneself and others.
I kept on leaving.
Continuously leaving situations or relationships without resolution.
Oh here it comes again;
A repetition of the anticipation or arrival of transformative experiences represented by "Righteous rain."
Righteous rain ,
The continued hope for a righteous rain to bring positive change.
Restore my heart!
A plea for emotional healing and renewal.
I’ve been a wild woman…
Reiteration of the wild and unrestrained nature within.
I need the open sky on me,
Expressing the need for freedom and connection with the vastness of life.
The frenzied clouds,
Embracing the unpredictable and chaotic elements of life.
The careless breeze,
Welcoming a carefree and unrestricted breeze into one's life.
The storm is best upon my knees…
Viewing storms and challenges as moments of humility and spiritual growth.
I feel god, I feel at ease.
Experiencing a sense of connection with a higher power and a feeling of tranquility.
Let the rain fall down….
An invitation to let transformative experiences, represented by rain, take place.
