Bluebird After the Rain

The rain came Down on an empty street, Washing away the tears beneath my feet. I thought my heart would never heal. I thought the pain was all I'd feel. The clouds were heavy, the nights were long. I searched for a place where I belonged. But every storm has an end in two, And every broken sky turns blue. I was lost inside the pouring rain, Until I found my strength again. Like a bluebird after the rain, I'm learning how to fly again. With every scar, with every tear, I found a reason to be here. The storm may have taken yesterday, But it couldn't take my soul away. I'm standing stronger than before, With open wings And an open door. Like a bluebird after the rain, I found my freedom again. I carried memories like heavy stones, Walking through the dark alone. I held on to a love that faded away, Until I learned to let it stay yesterday. The wind whispered my name at night, Telling me I would be all right. The woman I lost in all that pain, Found herself beneath the rain. Every tear became a river, That carried me to something better. Oh, Like a bluebird after the rain, I'm learning how to fly again. With every scar, with every tear, I found a reason to be here. The storm may have taken yesterday, But it couldn't take my soul away. I'm standing stronger than before, With open wings And an open door. Like a bluebird after the rain, I found my freedom Again. Yeah, yeah. No more waiting for the sun to shine. I found the light inside my mind. The past can call. The past can stay. But I'm walking toward a brighter Day. Like a bluebird after the rain, I'm breathing in a brand new day. The heart that broke has learned to sing. The soul that fell Has found its wings. High above the darkest night, Now I'm rising into the light. Like a bluebird after the rain, I'll never be The same again. After the rain, I learned to fly.
