[Verse 1]
And every morning before I'm awake
I walk around the world to make sure she's alright
And every evening 'fore I bolt the door
I give the stars a stir to make sure they will spin all night
[Pre-Chorus 1]
For I see people who will scratch and spit and kick and fight
And I see nations war about whether right is left and whether wrong is right
And I know storms inside your head can amplify the blight
[Chorus]
But no matter what the weather, you and the clouds will still be beautiful
No matter what the weather, you and the clouds will still be beautiful
[Verse 2]
And every Troy with wooden horse
I take to peaceful waters but can't make him drown
And every Bastille that gets stormtroopered
"Hail to the Chief" comes rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin' down
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I've seen people conduct lightning down to a summer's day
And I've seen nations playfully hurl snowballs packed with stones and clay
And I know rain inside your head can seriously put a stop to play
[Chorus]
But no matter what the weather, you and the clouds will still be beautiful
No matter what the weather, you and the clouds will still be beautiful
So let it rain
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And when we see flying saucers, flying cups, and flying plates
And as we trip down lover's lane we sometimes bump into the gate
And I know thunder in your head can still reverberate
[Chorus]
But no matter what the weather, you and the clouds will still be beautiful
No matter what the weather, you and the clouds will still be beautiful
No matter what the weather
[Outro]
Yeah
(So let it rain)
(So let it rain)
You know you still be beautiful
(So let it rain)
It doesn't matter what the weather you know you're beautiful
(Just let it rain)
You're just, you're beautiful
(So let it rain)
Yeah, since the clouds all part the clouds just rose
(So let it rain)
From your pretty little mouth to your pretty little nose you're beautiful
(So let it rain)
It doesn't matter if the rain wants to fail if the rain wants to fall
(Just let it rain)
(So let it rain)
(So let it rain)
