Strive to Be
Grateful for the Rain
[Intro: Myshaan]
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
[Verse 1: Myshaan]
I’ve been in the fight swinging left
Dodging right, get no rest
Life's been trying to knock me to my knees
I've been laying down in my bed
Spinning round in my head
Crying out for God to rescue me
[Pre-Chorus: Myshaan]
With every step, I’m falling back two or three
But I never let it get the best of me
Or keep me down
'Cause I know it makes me stronger
[Chorus: Myshaan & Huia Shortland, Myshaan]
Stars don’t shine without the darkness
Sun don’t rise without the shade
We can’t smile without the sadness
We can’t heal without the pain
There is salty and sweet
Mountains high valleys deep
Flowers bloom after storm cloudy days
It’s hard when it keeps falling
But I’m grateful for the rain
[Verse 2: Huia Shortland]
Every day like
Hitting the red lights
Back in the deep
Trying to see when it’s the dark of night
Feel the pressure and it pulls me in (Pulls me in)
Here we go again, but I keep trying 'cause
When the weight is heavy and it’s hard to breathe
When the waves are steady crashing down on me
Something lifts me up, yeah
And nothing’s ever gonna stop me
[Chorus: Myshaan & Huia Shortland, Myshaan, Huia Shortland]
Stars don’t shine without the darkness
Sun don’t rise without the shade (Sun don't rise without the shade)
We can’t smile without the sadness
We can’t heal without the pain (We can't heal without the pain)
There is salty and sweet
Mountains high valleys deep
Flowers bloom after storm cloudy days (After storm cloudy days)
It’s hard when it keeps falling
But I’m grateful for the rain
[Bridge: Myshaan with Huia Shortland]
If I didn’t have the chaos wouldn’t know the peace
If I didn’t feel the hurt I wouldn’t know relief
It’s true that I can’t have this joy without the grief
I guess that all these ups and downs are good for me
If I didn’t have the chaos wouldn’t know the peace
If I didn’t feel the hurt I wouldn’t know relief
It’s true that I can’t have this joy without the grief
Without the grief
[Chorus: Myshaan & Huia Shortland, Myshaan, Huia Shortland]
Stars don’t shine without the darkness
Sun don’t rise without the shade (Oh, whoa)
We can’t smile without the sadness (We can't smile, we can't smile)
We can’t heal without the pain (Oh, whoa)
There is salty and sweet
Mountains high valleys deep
Flowers bloom after storm cloudy days (After storm cloudy days)
It’s hard when it keeps falling
But I’m grateful for the rain (Yeah)
[Outro: Myshaan & Huia Shortland]
It's hard when it keeps falling
But I'm grateful for the rain
