*Listen to the following song, “Through the Rain,” sung by Mariah Carey. Practice singing it .

Through the Rain

When you get caught in the rain with nowhere to run

When you’re distraught(极其烦恼的) and in pain without anyone

When you keep crying out to be saved

But nobody comes and you feel so far away

That you just can’t find your way home

You can get there alone, it’s okay

What you say is

 

I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again on my own

And I know that I’m strong enough to mend(康复)

And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

 

And if you keep falling down don’t you dare give in

You will arise safe and sound, so keep pressing on steadfastly(坚定地)

And you’ll find what you need to prevail(获胜) 

What you say is

 

I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again on my own

And I know that I’m strong enough to mend

And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

 

And when the wind blows, as shadows grow close, don’t be afraid

There’s nothing you can’t face

And should they tell you you’ll never pull through

Don’t hesitate(犹豫), stand tall and say

 

I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again on my own

And I know that I’m strong enough to mend

And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

 

I can make it through the rain

And I live once again

And I live one more day

And I can make it through the rain

(Yes, you can)

You will make it through the rain
