It's Not Raining Out
Embracing Sunshine: Cecilia Glenn's Liberation Anthem
Lyrics
You left me in a storm and I've been
You abandoned me during a difficult time, and
Trying to get by
I've been striving to cope,
Trying to stay dry
Trying to endure without getting emotionally affected,
For a minute
Even if just for a short period.
Been donning a raincoat just in
I've been wearing a raincoat in anticipation
Case it pours down
Of possible emotional downpours,
I'd rather be safe and sound
Choosing safety and emotional stability over surprises,
No surprises
Avoiding unexpected emotional shocks.
But lately I've been thinking that the sky's been looking clear
However, recently I've started to feel that things are improving,
Come to think, it's been awhile since I have shed a tear
Realizing it's been a while since I last cried.
So I'll shrug this coat off my shoulders and hang it up for now
So, I'll remove this emotional protection, symbolic of the raincoat,
You don't need a raincoat, baby, if it's not raining out
Expressing that you don't need emotional defenses if there's no emotional turmoil.
Been feeling relieved since I've got
Experiencing a sense of relief now that
Less on my mind
I have less on my mind,
Oh they say it takes time
As they say, time is a healing factor,
Just a season
And this challenging period is just a phase.
For better or worse I think it's
Regardless of the circumstances, it's
Time to move on
Time to move forward,
Time to sing a new song
Time to embrace a new chapter and
And believe it
Believe in positive changes.
'Cause lately I've been thinking that the sky's been looking clear
Because lately, there's a sense of clarity in my emotional sky,
Come to think, it's been awhile since I have shed a tear
Realizing it's been a while since I've felt sorrow.
So I'll shrug this coat off my shoulders and hang it up for now
So, I'll discard this emotional armor and put it away for now,
You don't need a raincoat, baby, if it's not raining out
Reiterating that emotional protection is unnecessary when there's no emotional distress.
Raining out
Emphasizing that there's no need for emotional protection,
So I'll shrug this coat off my shoulders and hang it up for now
Repeating the decision to remove emotional barriers and
You don't need a raincoat, baby
Highlighting that you don't need emotional protection,
Oh, you don't need a raincoat, baby
Emphasizing again that there's no need for emotional defenses,
You don't need a raincoat, baby, if it's not raining out
Stating that emotional protection is unnecessary when there's no emotional turmoil.
