[Intro]
They want you to look at the storm. 
I’m looking at the way the light hits the rain. 
Perspective is everything.

[Verse 1]
I woke up with the weight of the globe on my shoulder blades
Watching the headlines flicker like a motorcade
Of broken promises and shadows in a dark room
But I found a sliver of the sun in a sharp bloom
In the cracks of the sidewalk, life is still screaming
I’m tired of the nightmare, I’m busy with the dreaming
Yeah, the coffee's getting cold but the steam is a ghost
Raising up a toast to the things that matter most
It’s the breath in my lungs, it’s the dirt on my shoes
I’m finding the rhythm inside of the blues.

The world is a fire, yeah, we’re all in the heat
But I’m finding the holiness right in the street.
My heart is a drum and it’s beating for more
I’m leaving the misery right at the door!

[Chorus]
(Oh!) I’m choosing the light today!
(Oh!) I’m washing the gray away!
It’s the small things, the real things, the heart in the hand
I’m taking my joy and I’m making a stand!
Unapologetic, a fire in the soul
I’m finally human, I’m finally whole!
(Let it shine, let it shine!)

[Verse 2]
They selling fear by the gallon, I’m drinking the peace
Finding the beauty in the struggle, the sweet in the crease.
It’s my daughter's laugh, it’s the way the record spins
The quiet moments where the real life begins.
I don't need a crown to know that I’m king
Of the peace of mind that a simple day can bring.
Stop measuring the sky by the clouds in the way
I’m counting the colors in the middle of the fray.

[Bridge]
(Vocal run—high and powerful)
It’s not a mask, it’s a choice!
(Yeah!)
It’s the power of the living voice!
In the mess, in the middle, in the holy and the plain
I am dancing... I am dancing in the rain!

[Outro]
Keep your head up.
Look at the person next to you.
That's the miracle. 
Right there.
(Grateful... yeah...)

[End]
