  • Black clouds are looking darker
    We bring the night to life
    I hope you got your lighter
    Spark the match and light
    Somehow we all survived
    Although they dimmed the lights
    They try to knock my future down
    The trees they tried to hide

    They say I'm an optimist
    Now look I topped the list
    Approve or not to this
    From negative to positive
    Yeah, jump out the plane
    No parachutes, we let it rain
    Flood the game, I brought my troops

    Forecast to be gray again
    Feels as if it never ends
    Won't hide behind the door
    Anymore
    Let it rain
    Let it rain
    (You see the)
    Drip drop coming
    Everybody give way
    Can't stop forming
    May as well embrace
    Let it rain
    Let it rain
    Let it rain
    (You see the)
    Drip drop coming
    Everybody give way

    Said I wouldn't last for long
    Said I had one hit and wondered back my parted songs
    Asking what's the label on
    Had this came along
    Why the hell, this sign of stress
    Told my A&R he's okay but now the game is wrong

    Now picture this
    Now I've got hits they miss
    I've planned it all
    To rule the black the mist
    And now it's ours
    Let it play for hours
    From of basement to the rooftop
    We just played the powers

    Forecast to be gray again
    Feels as if it never ends
    Won't hide behind the door
    Anymore
    Let it rain
    Let it rain
    (You see the)
    Drip drop coming
    Everybody give way
    Can't stop forming
    May as well embrace
    Let it rain
    Let it rain
    Let it rain
    (You see the)
    Drip drop coming
    Everybody give way

    I'm stepping out tonight
    There's a life worth more
    (I hear it calling)
    I'm afraid no more
    (Can't stop me falling)
    Behind the gray there's light
    (Black clouds)
    I will reach it by
    (Standing across)
    At the I know
    I'm gonna to be alright

    But they keep it moving on
    No time for dwelling on
    They hum we sing along
    We're gonna be alright
    I know you see
    In fact they all believe
    Them clouds above for me
    I let it rain
    Let it rain
    You see the
    Drip drop coming
    Everybody give way
    Can't stop forming
    May as well embrace
    Let it rain
    You see the
    Drip drop coming
    Everybody give way Writer/s: Emeli Sande, Kwasi Danquah, Nathaniel Ritchie
