Mama sat down and spoke today,
While there's life,
There is hope,
It's comin' your way,
Listen to me,
Oh, just hear the words I say,

Mama tells me I'm like those fools,
Clammed up tight,
Holding back what they should say,
Pressure building up the storm,
Is gonna break some day,

Walk, walk,
Toward the rainbow,
Learn from all your trials on the way,
Stormy weather never lasts,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, you'll see,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, you'll see,

Mama tells me don't feel no shame,
Fly too high,
And your wings get burnt away,
You're not the first,
So don't fear to try again,

Mama tells me you shouldn't scorn,
Yourself for the lovers that you mourn,
That your fond scars,
They're still a part of who you are,

Walk, walk,
Toward the rainbow,
Learn from all your trials on the way,
Stormy weather never lasts,
Oh-oh-oh-oh you'll see,
Oh-oh-oh-oh you'll see,

Stormy weather never lasts,
Oh-oh-oh-oh I see,
Oh-oh-oh-oh I see
