I remember that second grade summer
Storm season in our home town
Sittin’ in the cellar
Tornado was a coming
Didn’t know where it was gonna touch down
Daddy read the bible by the Coleman gas light
How God sent a rainbow to Noah for a sign
The wind stopped blowing
And it got real quiet
Momma turned to me and said
Don’t be afraid when you see dark clouds
Life grows sweeter when heaven pours down
It ain’t always gonna be a sunny day
It’ll be alright
Right as rain
Years passed like a quick spring shower
Had to find my way in this world
Huggin' mama goodbye took an hour
A grey sky day for her baby girl
Packin’ up my dreams in a little red jeep
Her face was wet when she kissed me on the cheek
I heard the thunder
And I didn’t wanna leave
She squeezed my hand and said
Don’t be afraid when you see dark clouds
Life grows sweeter when heaven pours down
It ain’t always gonna be a sunny day
It’ll be alright
Right as rain
Don’t be afraid to live your life
Run barefoot laughing beneath the open sky
Life ain’t always gonna be a sunny day
It’ll be alright
Right as rain
It's gonna be alright
Right as rain
