These are lyrics for Mariah Carey's "Through the rain"
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 ok Won't you 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
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 Won't you 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
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
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 I can make it through the rain Oh yes, you can You're gonna make it through the... Rain...
That is one of my favorite songs.... And Mariah Carey, one of my favorite artists, as I believe she shows her true self through her words. :))) Especially, a few years ago when she had that breakdown and the media disclosed it. My prayers were with her and even though it was difficult to see such an inspiring person hurting so badly, the reality of it showed the world that even fame and fortune is not all that it portrays. To be honest, I hold MORE respect for Mariah Carey for allowing her weakness to be shown to the world than I do for her music. It showed me that she had a good, compassionate heart that can be overwhelmed just like us in recovery. She wasn't worried about what others thought of her when she checked herself into center because of her breakdown and in turn, came out very strong once again. She's awesome. :)))
By the way, I received those lyrics from my friend... Here they are below:
I would stay Krezip
if this is true, i thought then, what will i think will i stay but rather i would get away i'm scared that i won't find a thing and afraid that i'll turn out to be alone, but i
i have to learn, have to try, have to trust, i have to cry have to see, have to know that i can be myself, yeah
and if i could i would stay and if they're not, not in my way i'll stare here in the distance but i'll grow up to be just like you, yeah i'll grow up to be just like you, yeah
i see it all i'm sure, but do i know what's right i thought i knew but it turns out the other way i am scared that i won't find a thing and afraid that i'll turn out to be alone, but i
i have to learn, have to try, have to trust, i have to cry i have to see, have to know, that i can be myself
and if i could i would stay and if they're not not in my way i'll stare here in the distance but i'll grow up to be just like you, yeah i'll grow up to be just like you
i want to tell you why would i try to you are all that i can see now why would i try to
and i want to tell you why would i try to you are all i can see now i know i'll try to
i have to learn, have to try, have to trust i have to cry i have to see, have to know, that i can be myself
but if i could, yeah, i would stay and if they're not, not in my way i'll stare here in the distance but i'll grow up to be just like you, yeah i'll grow up to be just like you like you
