Funny how the same things seem so different day by day
A little cloud passes overhead and everything turns to grey
What you see depends on what you're looking for sometimes
What you get and what you find might reflect your state of mind
Everybody has a strong reaction to the mood
And that evolves in a definite way, sometimes subtle, sometimes crude
Are you revealing what you're feeling or are you building a wall?
Put it up or let it down, we can all hear nature's call
Stand tall
Embrace it all
See the girl in the yellow dress standing in the rain
In a city bar at midnight the fever's running high
The day's end is drawing near, time is tickin on by
Another chance to leave your mark is slipping through your hands
A little action, satisfaction, completion of a plan
Stand tall
Embrace it all
Then the girl in the yellow dress walks into the room
SOLO
She takes her line from no-one else
She's got the mind to be herself
Any way the wind blows she never bends
But she won't break
A brighter day is fast approaching all's becoming clear
A time to shine, don't get behind. Set aside your fear
If you don't learn you haven't earned the right to criticise
If you do then I bet the world looks better through your eyes
Stand tall
Embrace it all
There's a girl in a yellow dress waiting in the park
