Don't Rain on My Parade
Unstoppable Spirit: Defying Doubters and Embracing Life's Sweet Symphony
Lyrics
Don't tell me not to fly
Rejecting advice against pursuing ambitions or dreams.
I've simply got to if someone takes a spill
Even if someone fails, it's their own experience, not yours.
It's me and not you
Don't blame others for your setbacks.
Don't bring around the cloud to
Don't bring negativity or obstacles.
Rain on my parade
Resisting others' attempts to dampen enthusiasm or hinder progress.
Don't tell me not to leave
Refusal to be held back.
Just sit and putter
Dismissing idle activities, embracing life's pleasures.
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Life is enjoyable, delightful.
Who told you you're allowed to
Challenging authority or restrictions imposed by others.
Rain on my parade i'll march my band out
Asserting independence, leading one's own way.
I'll beat my drum and if I'm fanned out
Expressing oneself boldly and unapologetically.
Your turn at bat, sir
Passing the opportunity to others.
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
Not pretending, being genuine.
I guess I didn't make it
Accepting a failure or setback.
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
Regardless of flaws, embracing individuality.
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
Acceptance of imperfections.
A Cinderella or a shine apple of an eye
Comparing oneself to cherished or favored things.
I gotta fly once i gotta try once
Encouraging taking chances, risking for a goal.
Only can die once, right, sir?
Life is lived once, so seize opportunities.
Ooh, life is juicy juicy and you see
Life is abundant and enjoyable.
I gotta have my bite, sir
Expressing a desire to experience life fully.
Get ready for me love
Preparing for love or success.
'Cause I'm a "comer"
Ready to succeed.
I simply gotta march my heart's a drummer
Determined to follow one's passion.
Don't bring around the cloud to
Avoiding negativity or hindrances.
Rain on my parade
Resisting attempts to spoil happiness or achievements.
Yes, sir no, sir
Asserting independence and determination.
I'm gonna live and live now
Embracing life fully and immediately.
Get what I want, I know how
Confident in achieving desires.
All that the law will allow
Within the limits of what's permissible.
One roll for the whole shebang
Putting everything into one attempt.
One throw that bell will go clang
Giving it all in a single chance.
Though I'm alone I'm a gang
Even when alone, being strong and purposeful.
Eye on the target and wham
Focused and determined.
One shot, one gun shot and bam
One opportunity, one impactful action.
Hey, world, here I am get ready for me life
Announcing readiness for life's challenges.
'cause I'm a "comer"
Reiteration of determination.
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Personal conviction and passion.
Nobody, no, nobody
A firm statement against detractors.
Is gonna rain on my parade!
Asserting control over one's happiness and success.
