Someone told me long ago
There’s a calm before the storm
I know; it’s 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

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? 

Yeah!

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?
