A true musician plays
Through all the rainy days
And every song survives
He takes the stage by storm
And keeps his music warm
Until his luck arrives
Then a melody appears
Taking him past those weather-beaten years
I made it through the rain
And kept my songs protected
I made it through the rain
And played my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who got rained on too
And made it through
No matter how it rains
A singer entertains
And music must be made
Before you draw the crowd
You pour your heart out loud
And start your own parade
Then you play the clouds away
Waiting until you hear your music say:
I made it through the rain
And kept my songs protected
I made it through the rain
And played my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who got rained on too
And made it through
(Instrumental)
Then you play the clouds away
Waiting until you hear your music say:
I made it through the rain
And kept my songs protected
I made it through the rain
And played my point of view
I made it through the rain
And I found myself respected
By the others who got rained on too
And made it through
And made it through
And made it through
