I remember that second grade summer
Storm season in our home town
Sittin' in the cellar, tornado was a comin'

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


[Chorus:]
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...


[Chorus:]
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
