[Verse 1: Cindy Herron]
Just to get through another day
It took everything in me to find my way
Had to tell myself not to quit
There’s a voice within me, says I can handle this

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop…think…just…breathe
I can hear these words inside of me, saying
Be…still…re…lease
You’re gonna make it through this day
Everything’s gonna be okay

[Chorus]
I pushed through the winds
I stood in the rain
I weathered the storm
Now nothing but blue skies around me
And I, I’m better inside
I’ve opened my eyes
See nothing but blue skies around me

[Verse 2: Terry Ellis]
I see the tears you’re trying to hide
And the load is heavy on the inside
When the battle’s raging all around
When you’re feeling hopeless and you’re shutting down

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop…think…just…breathe
You gotta listen to the voice in you, saying
Be…still…re…lease
You’re gonna make it through this day
Everything is gonna be okay

[Chorus]
I pushed through the winds
I stood in the rain
I weathered the storm
Now nothing but blue skies around me
And I, I’m better inside
I’ve opened my eyes
See nothing but blue skies around me
Yeah yeah yeah

[Bridge]
You can fall, you can crawl but you can’t quit
(You can fall but you can’t quit, yeah)
It’ll change, stay strong, gotta hang in
(It’s gonna change if you want it, yeah)
What you will can be yours if you want it
(What you will can be yours, yeah…)

[Chorus]
I pushed through the winds
I stood in the rain
I weathered the storm
Now nothing but blue skies around me
And I’m, I’m better inside
I’ve opened my eyes
See nothing but blue skies around me
I pushed through the winds
I stood in the rain
I weathered the storm
Now nothing but blue skies around me
And I, I’m better inside
I’ve opened my eyes
See nothing but blue skies around me
I pushed through the winds
I stood in the rain
I weathered the storm
Now nothing but blue skies around me
And I, I’m better inside
I’ve opened my eyes
See nothing but blue skies around me
I pushed through the winds
I stood in the rain
I weathered the storm
Now nothing but blue skies around me
And I, I’m better inside
I’ve opened my eyes
See nothing but blue skies around me

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
