Mama sat down and spoke today
While there's life, there is hope
It's coming 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 and walk
Toward the rainbow
Learn from all your trials on the way
Stormy weather never lasts
Oh-oh you'll see
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 you fond scars
They're still a part of who you are
Walk and walk
Toward the rainbow
Learn from all your trials on the way
Stormy weather never lasts
Oh-oh you'll see
Oh-oh you'll see
Stormy weather never lasts
Oh-oh I see
Oh-oh I see
