This song is definitely about life's struggles and a hope for something greater ("Trapped between this life and the light"). The writer seems to see "the rain" as necessary to improving his life and has negative and positive qualities.
On the one hand he says "I feel it's gonna rain like this for days" which has some negative connotations. But sees the value in "rain" when he says "So Let it rain down and wash everything away". The writer has hope in this process and says "I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine". The process completes itself when he says "With every tomorrow comes another life".
Knowing Scott's religious background and he normally is the writer of the lyrics for Creed, one can only assume this song has a spiritual meaning to it. The "rain" may be a reference to God's correction, forgiveness, and ultimately is restoration.
