When you get caught in the rain with no where to run When you're distraught and in pain without anyone When you keep crying out to be saved But nobody comes and you feel so far away That you just can't find your way home You can get there alone It's okay, what you say is I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again on my own And I know that I'm strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day and I make it through the rain And if you keep falling down don't you dare give in You will arise safe and sound, so keep pressing on steadfastly And you'll find what you need to prevail What you say is I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again on my own And I know that I'm strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day and I make it through the rain And when the rain blows, as shadows grow close don't be afraid There's nothing you can't face And should they tell you you'll never pull through Don't hesitate, stand tall and say I can make it through the rain I can stand up once again on my own And I know that I'm strong enough to mend And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith And I live one more day and I make it through the rain I can make it through the rain And stand up once again And I live one more day And I can make it through the rain, ooh yes you can You're gonna make it through the rain
