  • 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 Writer/s: Justin Gregory Smith, Kenneth Scott Crouch, Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson

  • Jennie from Ansonia, CtThis song reminds me of how the Jewish people suffered during the Holocaust and to me seems like a tribute to the ones who survived. I first heard this song after seeing the movie "Devil's Arithmatic" with Kirsten Dunst.
  • Leonie from Leeds, Englandthis was the ong she made because of her nervous breakdown and it was saying how she could make it through the rain and stand up once again. It is also relating to the fact that you should follow your heart just like the girl in the video does.
  • Isabelle from Cedarhurst, Nyi think having an interracial relationship is also a theme in this song. mariah's father is half black and hispanic and her mom is irish. it makes sense that this song is based on them, because interracial dating was (unfortunately) looked down on back in their day. I LOVE THIS SONG- btw, being mixed myself... MARIAH CAREY IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Leo from Brandon, VtThis song was mariah's first single after the media's turn about "Breakdown". The single stayed on the dance (billboard) charts for over 80 weeks!
