Saw an old man with a cane, hid hair was silver-grey Used to have good friends, now he misses them. Winter comes to every life, the springtime has to fade. Seasons have to change, it is nature's way. No one has promised us a lifetime without pain Heard the old man said, "It's just a rainy day." He knows this too will pas and joy will come again. Let the whole world know, let the cold wins blow. Rain on, I will not drown, I'm standing firm on higher ground. Rain on I will not drown, I'm standing firm on higher ground. Saw a man with dream of wealth and everything it brings. He heard the sheperd call, so he left it all. Sometimes a careless blow can leave a hollow ring. But he follows on, soon the doubt is gone. Rain on, I will not drown, I'm standing firm on higher ground. Rain on I will not drown, I'm standing firm on higher ground. No one has promised us a lifetime without pain Heard the old man said, "It's just a rainy day." He knows this too will pas and joy will come again. Let the whole world know, let the cold wins blow. Rain on, I will not drown, I'm standing firm on higher ground. Rain on I will not drown, I'm standing firm on higher ground.
