Through the Rain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you get caught in the rain
With nowhere 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
Once you say

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Once you say
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
And when the wind blows
And 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

[Chorus]
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'll make it through the rain
[Post-Chorus]
I can make it through the rain
And stand up once again
And I'll live one more day, and I
I can make it through the rain

[Outro]
Oh, yes you can
Oh, you're gonna make it through the
Rain
