Lyrics

Someone told me long ago

There's a calm before the storm

I know, it's been coming for some time

When it's over, so they say

It'll rain a sunny day

I know, shining down like water


I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

Coming down on a sunny day


Yesterday, and days before

Sun is cold and rain is hard

I know, been that way for all my time

'Til forever, on it goes

Through the circle, fast and slow

I know, it can't stop, I wonder


I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

Coming down on a sunny day


Yeah!


I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

Coming down on a sunny day
