This woman is seemingly not just singing words, but experiences issues, her own issues, and sentimentally in Golden Coin. While flaunting her crown as the queen of the slow stuff in Fly, as well as in the lyrically well crafted One on One."

The Rain
Christi Warner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep hoping
Aahe, aahe, ahe?
Change will always come
Aahe, aahe,
Keep hoping,
(feels like the rain won?t come)
Help is closer than you think
Soon you?ll fly again, shine again, fly again
(feels like the rain won?t come).
The rain will come!

The lyrics of Christi Warner's song "The Rain" are an ode to hope and perseverance in times of hardship. The repeated lines of "Aahe, aahe, ahe?" can be interpreted as a cry of despair or doubt, but the following lines offer a counterpoint of optimism and encouragement. "Keep hoping," Warner sings, stressing the importance of not giving up even when it feels like nothing will change. She acknowledges that it may "feel like the rain won't come," but insists that "change will always come" and that "help is closer than you think."
As the song progresses, the imagery shifts from rain imagery to imagery of flying and shining, suggesting that the release of pent-up emotions or grief can lead to a sense of freedom or renewed energy. The repeated phrase "soon you'll fly again, shine again, fly again" is both a comforting prediction and a call to action; it suggests that the listener has the power to overcome their current struggles and emerge stronger on the other side.
Overall, "The Rain" is a uplifting and optimistic song about the importance of holding onto hope in difficult times. Whether the rain represents emotional turmoil or literal rain after a period of drought, Warner's message is clear: change will come, and it is up to us to keep hoping and working towards a brighter future.
