I'm no stranger to the rain 
I'm a friend of thunder 
Friend, is it any wonder 
Lightning strikes me? 
I've fought with the devil 
Got down on his level 
But I never gave in 
So he gave up on me 
I'm no stranger to the rain 
I can spot bad weather 
And I'm good at finding 
Shelter in a downpour 
I've been sacrificed by brothers 
Crucified by lovers 
But through it all I withstood the pain 
I'm no stranger to the rain 
But when I get that foggy feeling 
When I'm feeling down 
If I don't keep my head up 
I may drown 
But it's hard to keep believing 
I'll even come out even 
While the rain beats your hope in the ground 
And tonight it's really coming down 
I'm no stranger to the rain 
But there'll always be tomorrow 
And I'll beg, steal 
Or borrow a little sunshine 
And I'll put this cloud behind me 
That's how the man designed me 
To ride the wind 
And dance in a hurricane 
I'm no stranger to the rain 
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain 
I'm no stranger to the rain 
I'm a friend of thunder 
Friend, is it any wonder 
Lightning strikes me? 
But I'll put this cloud behind me 
That's how the man designed me 
To ride the wind 
And dance in a hurricane 
I'm no stranger to the rain 
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain
