Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm
I know; its been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day,
I know; shinin' down like water.

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' 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.
