"Stand in the Rain" - Superchic[k]

"Then you will understand what it means to fear the LORD, and you will gain knowledge of God. For the LORD grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of good sense to the godly. He is their shield, protecting those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of justice and protects those who are faithful to him." -Proverbs 2:5-8, NLT

This full-company piece was the first dance we learned all year. We performed this dance at a talent show hosted by the Texas A&M Philippino Student Association, as a filler act in a huge sorority/fraternity show called "Songfest", and several times in the main plaza outside the student center here. This was one dance that we all knew really well and we could focus on the words instead of remembering all of the choreography. The dance starts out with all of us quickly walking in random patterns on stage, then different groups breaking into dance until at the chorus all of us dance together. At the end of the song, we go back to our personal walking pattern but then stop and look at each other. It's supposed to represent how we often go about life in our personal bubble of our problems and don't stop to consider that we are all going through hard things and we can stand in the rain better when we stand as a group instead of by ourselves...



She never slows down
She doesn't know why but
she knows that when
She's all alone it feels
Like it's all coming down

She won't turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering
If she stands, she'll fall down
She wants to be found but
The only way out is through 
Everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
Stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
