I Made it Through the Rain - Barry Manilow

I have been told I am a sentimentalist and romantic ... I have no problem with that ;-p

This is a love story about an extraordinary team of dolphins and their mermaid which is based on true events. For those of us who experienced it - hearts were opened, sharks withdrew, and in the end Love triumphed :) It is a gift to the gentlemen who were then known as Team 26, along with friends who were also a part of the bigger team -- and who all opened up a part of my heart in ways impossible to express with words alone ... This is my gift to them and to all those who have fended off sharks in their lives -- attain triumph with Love :)

Blessings!

It's about Love!

Made It Through the Rain
Performed by Barry Manilow

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel so afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade
'Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through

This is a great song, but it’s not really about marine life. It’s about survival. I know people who listen to it when they’re feeling down, or under the weather, and it helps them feel better. In college I made a short film about Holocaust survivors and used this song for the opening credits.

@10BigBrian And, for me, and my artistic rendition, is also about survival ... but it is a private story merely eluded to in the 'more info' section. It's about Love :)

I heard this song for the first time when I was deployed in Iraq; this song is so powerful; his voice was made for this song I can't believe how old this song is (1981) it sounds so timeless excellent song barry

One of the best songs ever written!! Thank you Barry Manilow for a masterpiece!

[HardWarUK]

All his songs sound like either movie themes or stage show songs. And I don't mean that in a bad way! ::)
