Chorus 1
Don't be afraid of tears
When they fall like drops of rain,
Though your sky seems dark and drear,
The sun will shine for you again.-
Don't be afraid of tears
They cleanse your eyes and help you see.
All your sorrows through the years
Make us what we ought to be.-

Verse
If life were all gladness and pleasure,
And only the things we adore,
We'd never learn to treasure the things
That mean so much more.

Chorus 2
Don't be afraid of tears
When they fall like drops of rain,
Though your sky seems dark and drear,
The sun will shine for you again.-
The sun will shine for you again.-
The sun will shine for you again.
