The sky is falling all around you
Can't you see? It's coming down!
They tell me these things and more
And it makes me want to scream
'Cause I've decided not to drown
The sky's not falling; it's just raining
We all need the rain to help us grow
Yeah, it's wet and soggy
But it won't last all that long
And pretty soon there'll be a rainbow
'Cause I can see that this life right here is not my own
And I will believe that I'm working toward what I cannot see
'Cause it's better than what I've seen and known
So you can talk about the pressure
And you can talk about your pain
And you can waste your time
On all those things that hold you back
Never seeing what you have to gain
Or you can take a look around you
At the blessings that you have right now
Just be thankful that your life's not a whole lot worse
You'll find the rainbow's end somehow
'Cause I can see that this life right here is not my own
And I will believe that I'm working toward what I cannot see
'Cause it's better than what I've seen and known
