Even If It Rains
Music & Lyrics by 
Matthew Shaker
(Performed by Anna Watkins Anawalt)

(Prologue)
I know you’re hurting
It’s so disconcerting 
But still you’re not alone
I promise you’ll never be alone

(Verse 1)
This morning you woke up and felt the urge to cry
The sky was grey as were your reasons why
I know sometimes the hurt can cloud your eyes
But even in the storm you must realize that

(Chorus)
Even if it rains I will be there for you
You’ll always have someone who 
You can come running to
Even if it rains I’ll always care for you 
I’ll always remind you that there’s still a ray of hope
Even if it rains

(Verse 2)
Remember a time you were free from fear and doubt
You gazed into the sky and chanted sun come out
So now you must look deep inside of you
Find the simple faith that once you knew but

(Chorus)
Even if it rains I will be there for you
You’ll always have someone who 
You can come running to
Even if it rains I’ll always care for you
I’ll always remind you that there’s still a ray of hope
Even if it rains

(Interlude)

(Bridge)
Though you may want to say
Rain rain go away
Hold on to what matters most to you
Look up to the sky
You will see the sun shine through and

(Chorus)
Even if it rains I will be there for you
You’ll always have someone who 
You can come running to
Even if it rains I’ll always care for you
I’ll always remind you that there’s still a ray of hope
Even if it rains
Even if it rains
Even if it rains
Even if it rains
