Be Lyrics by Adrianne Lenker

Then the Rain Came (Pre-Release)

2008

[Verse 1]
Forget what shut you in
And kept you under lock and key
Connect just weave right in
Breathing in and out with me
[Pre-Chorus]
When the world feels like it's against you darling
When your hope is lost and you're alone
[Chorus]
Just be the laughter, be the life
Be the blossom in the morning rain
Be the wonder, be the light
Be the sunset on a golden plain
Plain
[Verse 2]
Unfold, release yourself
And don't you keep it bottled in
Take hold, embrace thе weight???
It shows you more than you can know
[Pre-Chorus]
When thе world feels like it's against you darling
When your hope is lost and you're alone
[Chorus]
Just be the laughter, be the life
Be the blossom in the morning rain
Be the wonder, be the light
Be the sunset on a golden plain
Be the gladness, be the one
Be the oak tree on an August day
Be the sparkle, be the shine
Be the colors that erase the grey
The grey
[Bridge]
Darkened skies return to light
All your fears will turn to mine
Until you push and then you pull
And then you climb until you
Change the burned out light bulb on the sun
The sun
[Chorus]
Just be the laughter, be the life
Be the blossom in the morning rain
Be the wonder, be the light
Be the sunset on a golden plain
Be the gladness, be the one
Be the oak tree on an August day
Be the sparkle, be the shine
Be the colors that erase the grey
Be the dancer, be the smile
Be the kisses on a lover's face
Be the mountain, be the high
Be the journey to a better place
Place
[Outro]
Forget what shut you in
And kept you under lock and key
