Through the rain 为Mariah Carey(玛丽亚凯莉)为父母的情感经历所创作，是一首励志歌曲。
玛丽亚凯莉的母亲为白人贵族，父亲为黑人。在当时的社会背景下，他们这段浪漫的婚姻是不被允许的，所以在结婚前，玛丽亚凯莉的家族长辈一直反对，最后在一次激烈的争吵中，玛丽亚凯莉的母亲被迫离开家门。虽说后来也有回去，但婚后的生活，因为没有来自家庭的支柱，她的丈夫又比较贫穷，所以可以说并不富裕。玛丽亚凯莉就是在这样的情况下，一步步成长为世界天后的。所以写下这首歌曲，一是对父母婚姻的支持，二是为了鼓励后人向她的父母一样敢于恋爱，三是作为一首励志歌曲，也有着鼓励他人战胜困难的作用。
歌词：
When you get caught in the rain with no where to run
当你被困于风雨中 无处可逃
When you're distraught and in pain without anyone
当你心烦意乱 却无人相伴
When you keep crying out to be saved

But nobody comes
却无人伸出援手
And you feel so far away

That you just can't find your way home

You can get there alone
你能够独自到达彼岸，
It's okay, what you say is
对于自己所说的话，你要相信自己能行
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
