Robert McAtee - Cloud Nine Lyrics

The sun swells through the clouds.
The rain spits on my skin.
The world is in black and white
But there's a rainbow within.
I'm walkin' across the street
But I'm floating on cloud nine.
And it's about time
Cause I've been down.
Hidin' away with a frown.
And I've been beat up and
Left with nothing
In this crazy town.
There's people with masks on
Walkin' fast with nowhere to go.
But they're not real no, no, no.
They're just part of the show.
And I'm gonna enjoy this day
'til the sun goes down.
It's days like these . . .
Make the world go round.
The flowers are blooming through the concrete.
It's hard to be discreet when you feel this good.
I guess some days you're lucky.
Some days you win like you should.
I'm walkin' across the street
But I'm floating on cloud nine.
And it's about time cause I've been sad.
I've been feelin' so bad.
With no luck for so long
Until this day came along.
There's people with masks on
Walkin' fast with nowhere to go.
But they're not real no, no, no.
They're just part of the show.
I'm gonna enjoy this day
'til the sun goes down.
It's days like these . . .
Make the world go round.

The sun swells through the clouds.
The rain spits on my skin.
The world is in black and white
But there's a rainbow within.
I'm walkin' across the street
But I'm floating on cloud nine.
And it's about time
Cause I've been down.
Hidin' away with a frown.
And I've been beat up and
Left with nothing
In this crazy town.
There's people with masks on
Walkin' fast with nowhere to go.
But they're not real no, no, no.
They're just part of the show.
And I'm gonna enjoy this day
'til the sun goes down.
It's days like these . . .
Make the world go round.
The flowers are blooming through the concrete.
It's hard to be discreet when you feel this good.
I guess some days you're lucky.
Some days you win like you should.
I'm walkin' across the street
But I'm floating on cloud nine.
And it's about time cause I've been sad.
I've been feelin' so bad.
With no luck for so long
Until this day came along.
There's people with masks on
Walkin' fast with nowhere to go.
But they're not real no, no, no.
They're just part of the show.
I'm gonna enjoy this day
'til the sun goes down.
It's days like these . . .
Make the world go round.
