rain or shine

Mike Love

You know I will be there
Thick or thin
Rain or shine
You know I will be there
Take my hand
Its gonna be alright now child

Just take my hand
And know that its alright to cry
Takes a big man
To suck it up and just accept a helping hand
You know that we all ride the ruts from time to time
We all got mountains to climb
Mountains to climb

So check the signs
Look around jah they're everywhere
Open your mind
I know sometimes it seems unfair
But take your cards
And play your hand the best you can
I know its hard
When things don't go just
As you planned but when
The times get tough

You know I will be there
Thick or thin, rain or shine, (you know I will be there)
When the road is rough and rocky, (you know I will be there)
When you're lost and afraid and you
Can't find your way (you know I will be there)
Oh brother, lay you're weary body down
My sister, wipe away that angry frown
My friend you've been running on an empty tank so long

You start to get the feeling you belong
In this hell you've been living in so many
Many years but don't give in
Cause over yonder, life is waiting
So just stop your self deflating
Ego trips and start forgiving yourself

And get busy living and when the times get tough
You know I will be there
When the road is rough and rocky
(You know I will be there)
When you think that you ain't got no friends
(You know I will be there)
And when you're lost and afraid and you
Can't find your way (you know I will be there)
Take my hand
Thick or thin
Rain or shine
