Wild As A Rainstorm — Vanessa Collier

Wild As A Rainstorm

written by vanessa collier

I wanna swaddle myself in color

When the rest of the world is black and white

And the others

Thinkin’ there’s power in numbers

They try to deter me

And I know sometimes you feel you don’t belong

It feels easier just to fall in line

But somethin’ inside you

Oh it fights it every time

I say

Be as wild as a rainstorm

Just breathe in deep

Be a crazy little genius

Be a tapestry of dreams

I’ve learned to stay strong

When they say that I can’t or I won’t succeed

‘Cause what do they know

Most cut short the path to their own dreams

And they’ll try to pull at your threads

Unravel you stitch by stitch until you concede

Let ‘em call you crazy for even daring to be

Be as wild as a rainstorm

Just breathe in deep

Be a crazy little genius

Be a tapestry of dreams

Don’t let ‘em tell you

Don’t let ‘em tell you who to be

Don’t let ‘em hold you back at all
