I MADE IT THROUGH THE RAIN

By Barry Manilow

We dreamers have our ways

Of facing rainy days

And somehow we survive

We keep the feelings warm

Protect them from the storm

Until our time arrives

Then one day the sun appears

And we come shining through those lonely years

I made it through the rain

I kept my world protected

I made it through the rain

I kept 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

When friends are hard to find

And life seems so unkind

Sometimes you feel so afraid

Just aim beyond the clouds

And rise above the crowds

And start your own parade

Cause when I chased my fears away

That's when I knew that I could finally say

I made it through the rain

I kept my world protected

I made it through the rain

I kept 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

I made it through the rain

I kept my world protected

I made it through the rain

I kept 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

I've been listening to this song over and over again the past few days. Credits to the Lasallian Community that they played this song last weekend. The song is now in my head. A very inspirational song. Reflecting on the lyrics of the song, I think I really did Made It Through the Rain. I am happy that I chased my fears away and be here where I am today. I am no longer haunted by the past. I believe I am stronger from now on.

I MADE IT THROUGH THE RAIN!!!
