The Rain

(Intro – spoken / melodic)

Yeah…

Don’t just toast to the sunshine…

You gotta dance in the storm too,

’Cause those dark days… they make the light worth it.

⸻

(Verse 1)

I used to only smile when the skies were clear,

Now I thank the thunder when it’s near.

Every tear taught me somethin’ I needed to hear,

Pain became the truth that brought me here.

Had to lose some peace to find my soul,

Had to break apart to gain control.

Now I’m stronger than I’ve ever known,

‘Cause I learned how to stand on my own.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, those nights I was cryin’,

Had to learn to stop hidin’.

Now I see the reason for every scar,

here to show me, the past is at a far.

⸻

(Chorus)

Don’t only celebrate the good days,

Raise a glass to the ones that hurt too.

They teach you how to fight through the pain,

Give you strength when the world’s against you.

Yeah, the sunshine’s sweet — but the rain, it made me true,

So I celebrate the rain… yeah, I celebrate the rain.

⸻

(Verse 2)

All that bullshit tried to break me down,

But I learned how to move, not drown.

Now when it storms, I don’t run, I stand proud,

‘Cause I found peace in the pain somehow.

Had to learn that love ain’t always kind,

Sometimes it’s the loss that clears your mind.

And now I see through the tears and lies,

Every fall gave me wings to rise.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, those nights I was cryin’,

Had to learn to stop hidin’.

Now I see the beauty in the fight,

Every wrong turn led me right.

⸻

(Chorus)

Don’t only celebrate the good days,

Raise a glass to the ones that hurt too.

They teach you how to fight through the pain,

Give you strength when the world’s against you.

Yeah, the sunshine’s sweet — but the rain, it made me true,

So I celebrate the rain… yeah, I celebrate the rain.

⸻

(Bridge)

Now I see the blessing in the breakdown,

The mirror don’t scare me now.

Every shadow made the light more loud,

And I’m proud of who I am now.

⸻

(Final Chorus)

Don’t only celebrate the good days,

Show love to the ones that changed you.

They gave you strength to walk through the flames,

Now you shine ‘cause the fire made you.

Yeah, the sunshine’s sweet — but the rain, it raised you too,

So I celebrate the rain…

Oh, I celebrate the rain.
