I'm like a storm cloud, eager when you go out
Calm again
I'll ask permission for the wrong to win
Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on
In a haze, the beginning of your days
Gonna fall down
Got to get back up, but at your own pace
Got to fill your cup and find the way out of your own maze
Yeah boy, what you said now
And hide the rule book, throw it in the waste
Look strong
Like you belong 'cause you do belong
Whether right or wrong, you belong

I'm on your side; if you fail, at least you tried
To keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alive
Yeah, and pride don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alone
Write your own song

Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song
The soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to my song?
It is my song
So here's a preview, shove it under old-new
Or call it rock or pop or Bach or funk
Goddamn, where did we go wrong?
Now there's a category for every song

Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde
Yeah, we only want a field we can run through
Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

So stride; if you fail, at least you tried
To keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alive
Yeah, and pride don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alone
Write your own song

Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song
The soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to the song?
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Yeah, write your own song

Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're writing our own songs

Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

Whatever happened to our inner glow?
(Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to)
Whatever happened to the song
The soul, the me I used to know?
(Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to)
Whatever happened to my radio?
(The rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde)
