[English]

You're allowed to feel however you feel

You don't always have to hide your tears

Even if today doesn't go your way

I bet I'll get you smiling ear to ear

(Woo!)

Everybody has their days

I know we gon' be okay

You don't have to be afraid

When the rain falls down

I promise I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I promise I won't run, run like the river

I believe in you, you know what to do

Be the hero that's like no one else

You been here before, closing every door

Happiness is what you owe yourself

(Woo!)

Everybody has their days

I know we gon' be okay

You don't have to be afraid

When the rain falls down

I promise I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I promise I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down (yeah)

I promise I won't run (everybody, sing), run like the river (come on)

When the rain falls down (when the rain falls down)

I promise I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I promise I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I promise I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I won't run, run like the river

When the rain falls down

I won't run, run like the river
