Ever since there was thunder There's been shelter from the storm A place to run for cover Till the rain clouds had moved on Now when I get that feeling Before the first drop hits the ground I'm asking, "Who's gonna stop the rain from falling down?" Wherever there's a soldier Who won't give up the fight Wherever there's a darkness That's trying to find the light Wherever there is hurting There is healing on the way Like sunshine breaking through a cloudy day Let it rain, let it rain Let the rain fall all around Who's gonna stop the rain from falling down? Maybe someday eyes won't judge you By the bed you're sleeping in The God you want to pray to Or the color of your skin When priests and politicians Sell the truth and nothing more That day we'll know what all of this was for Let it rain, let it rain Let the rain fall all around Who's gonna stop the rain from falling down? These ain't pretty pictures that we're keeping in the cloud Outside a storm is raging Just take a look around Somewhere there's forgiveness For the broken ones like me Who once stared down mighty mountains And now sit beneath the trees And somewhere there's a churchbell That's summoning the choir Somewhere there's a dreamer Who would walk 1,000 miles Somewhere there's a dreamer Who would walk 1,000 miles Let it rain, let it rain Let the rain fall all around Who's gonna stop the rain from falling? If you're out there, Christ I'm calling Who's gonna stop the rain from falling down?
