This song is beautiful.

The person above me summed this song up well, but I see the rain a bit differently.

"Standing tall, all the aspen trees drink water As the rain falls down like laughter from the sky"

To me that just paints a beautiful picture of finally rising above the rest of the world, lifted up by God, feeling free for the first time. The rain may resemble troubles or trials, but the reason they fall like laughter is because even though trials and hardships still come her way, she can smile through it and take joy in her trials because she has found new life in Jesus, like Paul the apostle said (I forget which book, I'm not as biblically well versed as I'd like).

Now, that's all my own speculation, and is definitely fallible, to take what you will from it.
