Lisa Bouchelle & The Bleu
Waterproof
As the world started coming out of the pandemic, Lisa received a troubling diagnosis from her doctor - she was a Type 1 Diabetic. To those not aware, Type 1 Diabetes is a life sentence to a world where one has to constantly monitor one's blood sugar, only eat certain foods, and take insulin daily to keep the blood sugar levels where they need to be. There are quite a few well-known Type 1 Diabetics, such as Nick Jonas and Neil Young, as well as newer artists such Valerie June and Crystal Bowersox. Like them, Lisa was determined not to let the diagnosis prevent her from reaching her goals and dreams in life, and "Waterproof" is a testament to not letting obstacles in life stop one from going after them.

NO RAIN, NO STORM, NO TEARS UNSEEN
CAN HOLD ME DOWN OR DROWN MY DREAMS
MY HAIR GETS WET, MY SOUL GETS CLEAN
I WANT IT ALL, NO IN BETWEEN
U CAN SAIL ME ‘CROSS AN OCEAN
CATCHIN’ TEARDROPS IN MY HAND
U CAN ROLL ME IN UR TODAL WAVE ‘TIL IM FACE DOWN IN THE SAND
U CAN WASH AWAY MY MAKEUP
BUT U CANNOT STRIP MY TRUTH
MAY SPIRIT STANDS AGAINST THE STORM
MY DREAMS ARE-
WATERPROOF (Waterproof)
WATERPROOF (Waterproof)

HOLD MY BREATH, WADE THRU THE FLOOD
AGAINST THE COLD, ITS IN MY BLOOD
A MERMAID ALWAYS MAKES A SPLASH
MY TALE BE TOLD, MY WAVES WILL CRASH
U CAN SAIL ME ‘CROSS AN OCEAN
CATCHIN’ TEARDROPS IN MY HAND
U CAN ROLL ME IN UR TODAL WAVE ‘TIL IM FACE DOWN IN THE SAND
U CAN WASH AWAY MY MAKEUP
BUT U CANNOT STRIP MY TRUTH
MAY SPIRIT STANDS AGAINST THE STORM
MY DREAMS ARE-
WATERPROOF (Waterproof)

STORM SURGE, BUT AFTER ALL
I’LL BE LIVING PROOF
WHEN THEY SEE ME STANDING TALL
I’LL BE LIVING PROOF
THAT I’M WATERPROOF
U CAN SAIL ME ‘CROSS AN OCEAN
CATCHIN’ TEARDROPS IN MY HAND
U CAN ROLL ME IN UR TODAL WAVE ‘TIL IM FACE DOWN IN THE SAND
U CAN WASH AWAY MY MAKEUP
BUT U CANNOT STRIP MY TRUTH
MAY SPIRIT STANDS AGAINST THE STORM
