Still Standing in the Rain

[Verse 1] (Instrumental: Soft, repetitive piano notes. Minimalist.) The room is quiet, but the noise is loud You’re lost in the center of a faceless crowd The weight on your chest feels like a mountain of stone And you’re tired of feeling so much on your own. Your hands are shaking, your coffee’s gone cold And you’re carrying stories that shouldn't be told. [Pre-Chorus] (Instrumental: A low cello note enters. The piano gets slightly louder.) I know your breath is coming in short I know you’re tired of holding the fort But look at your hands, look at your heart It’s still beating rhythm, it’s doing its part. [Chorus] (Instrumental: Wide acoustic guitar strums and a steady, slow drum beat.) It’s okay if the light feels a million miles away It’s okay if you don’t have the words left to say The clouds are heavy, and the sky is grey But you’re still standing in the rain. Yeah, you’re still standing in the rain And the rain is gonna wash the dust away. [Verse 2] (Instrumental: Drums stay steady but light. A subtle bass guitar joins.) They tell you to "fix it," they tell you "move on" But they don’t know how long the night’s been going on. It’s not a race, and it’s not a test Sometimes the bravest thing is just to take a rest. You don’t have to climb the whole hill today Just find one footstep to put in the way. [Bridge] (Instrumental: Building intensity. Dramatic strings. The vocals get higher and more powerful.) You’ve survived every "worst day" you’ve ever had Through the bitter, the broken, the lonely, and bad. You’re made of the stars and the grit in the ground You’re a beautiful song with a heavy sound! Don’t let the silence tell you you’re done The moon only shines ‘til it meets with the sun! [Guitar/Piano Solo] (A soaring, emotional melody that feels like a release of tension.) [Chorus] (Instrumental: Full, anthemic sound. Layered backing vocals like a choir.) It’s okay if the light feels a million miles away It’s okay if you don’t have the words left to say The clouds are heavy, and the sky is grey But you’re still standing in the rain. Yeah, you’re still standing in the rain. [Outro] (Instrumental: All instruments drop out except for the soft piano from the beginning.) The storm is gonna roar... The wind is gonna blow... But you’re still here. Yeah, you’re still here. (Fade out on a single, warm piano chord)
