Backstory:

I wrote this song with a new co-writing from England who was over here in Nashville last summer for a month or so to do some writing. We have since started Zoom writing almost every week. I had the hook, "Staying Ahead of the Rain" and we were trying to write a positive song of face adversity.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Staying Ahead of the Rain
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/James Kirby (PRS)


I keep on walking forward
Never try to look behind
I keep on moving towards
The blue skies in my mind
 
Dark clouds are always chasing
Try to pour down on my head
Bad storms are always tracing
A silver lining thread

	Chorus:
(I’m) On my way to you, 
Can’t hide away the truth
One step in front of the other, 
See the lightning; hear the thunder
Keep the fire to the flame
Staying ahead of the rain
  
The sun is always up there
Up above and by my side
Even through the coldest winter
Dreams are kept alive

Some days I feel the showers
Almost drowning out my faith
Some days I feel the powers
Carry me away

	Bridge:
Here I am tonight
A little lost, a little found
Here I am tonight
A little closer now
