## Lyrics

These lyrics may be incomplete or inaccurate.

No matter where you are
You know I'm like a star
Though you may not see my glare
You will know I'm always there
No matter how apart
The candle finds the spark
In the flicker you're my friend
And you lend a helping hand
Just like the eye
That can never see itself
I never really saw myself
Till you came by...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Rain and shine
Day and night
Land and sky
You and I
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Smile and cry
Low and high
We'll get by
Come, rain or shine
No matter how they try
With the ? of my eyes
This team is meant for two
Can't tell us what to do
No matter the mistakes
What we lose or break
Every rainbow needs the rain
Any rainbow needs the shine
Just like an eye
That will never see itself
You can never see yourself
Then I came by
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Rain and shine
Day and night
Land and sky
You and I
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Smile and cry
Low and high
We'll get by
Come, rain or shine
Come, rain or shine
Rain and shine
You and I
Come, rain or shine
So rise (so rise)
And shine (and shine)
I just wanna be myself
Do you wanna be yourself?
Hold tight...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Every time I call your name
I can hear you holler mine
Every time you miss the day
I will sing away the night
Every time I feel like rain
You just bring along the shine
Rain and shine
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Rain and shine
You and I
Rain and shine
You and I
Rain and shine
You and I
Rain and shine
You and I

## Alternative versions

In Penny's New Life - Part 1, Camilla sings an alternative version of Rain and Shine for her audition.

No matter where you are
You know I'm like a star
Though you may not like my hair
You will know I'm always there

No matter how apart
Something deep about sparks
And the flicker, you're a flame
I forgot the words again

Just like my eyes
Make every single word wrong
Oh, yes but I keep going on
Just you and I

Rain and shine
Day and night
Hello, goodbye
You and I

Wet or dry
Grilled or fried
You get by
Come, rain or shine

Ovunque tu sarai
Con me una stella avrai
Se i miei capelli odierai
Io per te li cambierei

E se lontano andrai
Io luce ti farò
Per te sarò più del sole
Non ricordo le parole

Lo sai, vedrai
Anche se il testo non è questo
Io continuo lo stesso
Io e te, vedrai

Rain and shine
Day and night
Ciao, dove vai
Tu canterai

Forse ballerai
Non spadellerai
Ma suderai
E vincerai

## Trivia

* This is the first released song of Penny on M.A.R.S.
* It was recorded on September 11, 2017, two weeks before starting filming Season 1.
* There is an Italian/English version of this song called Rain and Shine - Ci sarò, ci sarai.
* It has been speculated that the line "Just like the eye / that can never see itself / I never really saw myself / Till you came by" references the dialogue *First Alcibiades* by Greek philosopher Plato. In this text, Socrates observes that just as the eye, in attempting to see itself, must look at itself in another eye (133a) and at the image of its seeing reflected therein, so too, the soul, if it is to know itself, “must surely look at a soul, and especially at that region of it in which occurs the virtue of a soul—wisdom, and at any other part of a soul which resembles this” (source).
