I’ve been asleep with colored portraits in my mind
Of how I wish my life would go
But then I wake to find my days have never changed-
They’re still a black and white picture show.
We all need some change sometimes
And I feel I’m behind.

I wanna be out of the rain.
I wanna be king- anything.
I wanna be something beautiful.

But I can’t change-
I can’t change!
I’m a stranger in my own home.
Welcome to the Scarborough Hotel Mr. Albert,
Mind if I take your coat?
We all need someone sometimes
And I feel I’m behind.

I wanna be out of the rain.
I wanna be king- anything.
I wanna be something beautiful.

Change, is something I need
But rainy day, you’ve got me down on my knees.
Change, is something I need.
I’ve been changing with the lights down low-
I’ve got a candle lit and a broken down radio
So, change is something that comes and goes.

The change is twisting and turning me…

Anything beautiful I could be,
I would like to make that me.
So, keep me up, don’t put me down-
I know that I can’t make it on my own.
So, keep me up, don’t put me down,
Hand me my crown
And show me love,
Show me anything
That’s gonna make me who I am
Cause I wanna be out of the rain.
We all wanna be something.
