Dog Days Are Over
Naya Rivera and Amber Riley Lyrics

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
She was struck by happiness suddenly and powerfully, like a train on a track.

Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
Despite the happiness coming towards her, she was unable to move or turn away from it.

She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She tried to hide from the happiness by seeking shelter in corners and under beds.

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
Although she embraced the happiness with affection, she eventually left it behind.

The dog days are over
The difficult times are behind us.

The dog days are done
The hard times are finished now.

The horses are coming so you better run
Challenges are on the horizon and we need to be ready to face them.

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
We must hurry to protect and help our loved ones.

Run for your children for your sisters, and brothers
We must also run for the sake of our children, siblings, and other family members.

Leave all your love and your loving behind you
We need to be strong and leave behind the emotional baggage that will slow us down.

Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
It's important that we don't let emotional attachments prevent us from persevering.

And I never wanted anything from you
I never expected anything from you.

Except everything you had
Except your genuine and complete self.

And what was left after that too, oh
And even after that, I still wanted what was left of you.

Can you hear the horses?
Can you hear the oncoming challenges or difficulties?

'Cause here they come
They're arriving soon and we need to be ready.

(The dog days are over
(The difficult times are behind us,

The dog days are gone)
And we can finally move on.)

Here they come
Here come the challenges and we need to be prepared to face them.
