After The Rain

(album: So When You Gonna... - 2020)

Feeling very honest today
I'd like you walk my way
I don't know how long it will stay
Or how quickly it will go away

There's no front, no flick of the hair
All my insecurities, no ego to bear
There's no way out of here
But up or down

Playing a role of a daughter
Not ready to be anyone's mother
To be loved from far away
Makes me understand, feel the gain
Of being raised this way
Taking in the smell after the rain
Taking in the smell after the rain
The rain

Hold me close, then push me away
Fully exposed in so many ways
You would choose your independence any day
So listen to what I came here to say

It's my choice, my life
It's my will, my sacrifice
It's my body, my right
Not for others to decide
Not for other to decide

Feeling very honest today
I'd like you walk my way
I don't know how long it will stay
Or how quickly it will go away

Can I be angry at the past
When so much of it has lead me down a path
Or do I break away?
I've never been one with less to say
Just taking in the smell after the rain
Taking in the smell after the rain
The rain

Hold me close, then push me away
Fully exposed in so many ways
You would choose your independence any day
So listen to what I came here to say

It's my choice, my life
It's my will, my sacrifice
It's my body, my right
Not for others to decide

It's my choice, my life
It's my will, my sacrifice
It's my body, my right
Not for others to decide
Not for others to decide

My life
My choice, my life
My life
My life

My choice, my life
