Don'T Wait For the Storm To Be Over

Don't wait for the storm to be over Learn to dance in the rain. The storm will be good for the clover As dancing is good for the brain. The heart is at best just a rover Loving to go cross the grain. Don't wait for the storm to be over Learn to dance in the rain. Don't wait for the fire to die down Get out your marshmallow sticks. Flames cleaned the rust out of Chi Town Replacing the wood shacks with bricks. You see the stars when you lie down Getting your open sky fix. Don't wait for the fire to die down Get out your marshmallow sticks. Don't wait for someone to invite you Learn to strike out on your own. The smallest of things can excite you Next thing you know, you have flown. The storm and the fire rage despite you You'll see that you're never alone. Don't wait for someone to invite you Learn to strike out on your own. Don't stand in the doorway and wonder If this is the time to go Move out in spite of the thunder Move out against the flow. The storm and the rain cannot stop you As long as you keep moving on. And all those who think they can top you Will look out and you'll be gone.
