[Intro: Joe]
Gotta stand up again
And just say the rain ain't gonna melt me away
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
When you get caught
In the pouring rain
With nowhere to run
Without anyone and you
Get a little bit frightened
'Cause you've lost your way home
But through all the thunder and lightening
Just keep praying and keep (Yes I can, yes I can)
Saying to yourself
[Chorus: (Mariah Carey), Mariah Carey & Kelly Price, Joe & Mariah Carey & Joe]
I'll make it through the rain
I'll stand up once again (I'll stand again)
On my own (On my own) and I know (And I know)
That I'm strong and in time
I can mend (Yeah)
When I'm afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I'll make it through the rain (Make it through the rain)
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey & (Mariah Carey & Kelly Price)]
And if you keep, keep on falling down (Falling down)
Don't you dare give in (No no no)
You will arise safe and sound
If you keep (Pressing on, steadfastly)
You'll have everything you need
Believe you will prevail (Yes I can, yes I can)
If you just say
[Chorus: (Mariah Carey), Mariah Carey & Kelly Price, Joe, Mariah Carey & Joe & *Kelly Price*]
I'll make it through the rain
*I'm gonna make it*
I'll stand up once again
On my own and I know (Own)
That I'm strong and in time
I can mend
When I'm afraid (Whenever I'm afraid)
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I'll make it through the rain
Oh-oh-oh
[Bridge: Mariah Carey, (Mariah Carey & Kelly Price), Joe & Kelly Price]
(There are times in your life)
(When you feel like you can't)
(Keep going)
But keep holding, *keep holding*, keep holding
Keep holding (On)
There are times in your life when you
Feel like the world all around you
Has shattered, but know that you can't be broken
That you can't be broken
Don't be afraid don't be afraid, don't be afraid, stand tall and say
Yes I can, yes I can
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Kelly Price]
(I'm gonna make it)
I'll make it through the rain
(I'm gonna stand up again on my own)
I'll stand up once again
On my own and I know
('Cause I know) That I'm strong and in time
I can mend (I can mend)
When I'm afraid
I hold tighter to my faith (And I live another day)
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Yes I can, yes I can
I'll make it through the rain
(Make it through the rain)
I'll stand up once again
('Cause I'm on my own and)
On my own and I know
(Now I know that)
That I'm strong and in time
(I'm strong, I'm strong and I)
I can mend
When I'm afraid
(Whenever I feel afraid)
I hold tighter to my faith
(Tighter to my faith)
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain
(Make it through the rain)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Yes I can, yes I can
I'll make it through the rain
I'll stand up once again
On my own and I know
That I'm strong and in time
I can mend
When I'm afraid
I hold tighter to my faith
Live another day longer
And I make it through the rain
[Outro: Mariah Carey]
The rain don't bother me
