Anne Wilson's 'Rain In The Rearview' is a contemporary Christian song about moving past pain and trusting God through life's storms. The lyrics use the metaphor of driving away from rain to represent leaving behind hurt and tears. Wilson references the popular Christian song 'Jesus Take the Wheel' to emphasize surrender and faith. The message encourages listeners to keep going, believing that sunshine—symbolizing hope and healing—lies ahead.

Tell me how much hurt can a heart take
Tell me how much wind till the walls cave
You can just stay right there in the pain
Or listen to the voice that you hear when you pray
Tell me how much hurt can a heart take before it breaks
When the storm rolls in
The sky won't quit crying'
And you've lost more tears than you thought you could ever lose
Oh, I swear somewhere out there
The sun is somewhere shining
So drive baby drive baby drive baby
Till it shines on you
And leave the rain in the rearview
I got ten and two on a two tone
Two lanes of freedom
Singing "Jesus take the wheel"
Now I know what she was feelin'
Cause I feel it too
When the storm rolls in
The sky won't quit crying'
And you've lost more tears than you thought you could ever lose
Oh, I swear somewhere out there
The sun is somewhere shining
So drive baby drive baby drive baby
Till it shines on you
And leave the rain in the rearview
Leave the rain
Leave the rain in the rearview
Leave the rain
Leave the rain in the rearview
Don't stop till your eyes see the clear blue
Drive baby drive
Leave the rain
Leave the rain in the rearview
Leave the rain
Leave the rain in the rearview
Don't stop till your eyes see the clear blue
Drive baby drive
When the storm rolls in
The sky won't quit crying'
And you've lost more tears than you thought you could ever lose
Oh, I swear somewhere out there
The sun is somewhere shining
So drive baby drive baby drive baby
Till it shines on you
And leave the rain in the rearview
And leave the rain in the rearview
