She was only ten when her daddy got fired   He drank away the family home and left them all alone   And then her mommy was just too tired   She got sent away      She moved in with her aunt in Arizona   Everything was fine until she told on uncle Bill   When he said he only wanted to hold her   She had to run away      But when it rains   The past gets washed away and then   She smiles 'cause she knows in the end   The world gets beautiful, beautiful again      Her boyfriend said, ?I?m way too young to get married?   But she made up her mind that somehow she was gonna   Find a way to keep that baby she carried   And he just walked away      But when it rains   The past gets washed away and then   She smiles 'cause she knows in the end   The world gets beautiful, beautiful again      And when she's lying all alone   Thinkin' about her life she wonders   If she is wrong to believe in a better world   Then she sees her little girl   And she knows she is right      'Cause when it rains   The past gets washed away and then   She smiles 'cause she knows in the end   The world gets beautiful, beautiful again, yeah, yeah
