Tears From Heaven
Jerry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
Every time, every time it rains, it's gonna rain pennies from heaven
Don't you know every cloud contains lots of pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's fallin', baby, all over the town
Be sure, be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you've got to have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
The lyrics of Jerry's song "Pennies from Heaven" convey a message of optimism and hope during difficult times. The imagery of rain symbolizes a metaphorical shower of blessings that can come unexpectedly and uplift one's spirits. The repeated mention of pennies from heaven suggests that even small and seemingly insignificant blessings can bring abundance and good fortune. Each cloud is depicted as a container of these blessings, reminding the listener to always be open to receiving and recognizing the goodness around them.
The reference to finding fortune all over the town implies that blessings can be found in every corner of life, if one looks for them with an open heart and mind. The instruction to keep your umbrella upside down signifies being receptive and open to receiving the blessings that come your way, even if they come unexpectedly or in untraditional forms. This imagery underscores the idea that staying open and positive can attract more positivity and blessings into one's life.
The lyrics suggest a metaphorical exchange of the pennies from heaven for a "package of sunshine and flowers," symbolizing the transformation of challenges and hardships into beauty and joy. The idea that one must endure showers to enjoy the things they love emphasizes the notion that struggles and challenges are essential for personal growth and for appreciating the good things in life. The reminder not to seek shelter under a tree during a thunderstorm implies that moments of difficulty can actually bring about unexpected blessings if we face them head-on.
Overall, "Pennies from Heaven" is a song that encourages resilience, gratitude, and a positive outlook on life. It inspires listeners to see the silver lining in every situation, to remain open to receiving blessings in various forms, and to remember that even amidst storms, there is always the potential for unexpected moments of joy and abundance.
