Walked this rocky terrain 'til your heart is tough as leather

And there's no sign in the sky above you

That anonyme's gonna come and love you

And take away your heartache and your pain



But sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours

Sometimes an angel come knocking on your door

Though it's hard to tell through a long dry spell

That the clouds above are ever gonna break

But sometimes it rains



You've been prayin'for a miracle, a miracle to save you

You've been wishin' your heart was full

Or the faith that God gave you

A flash of light and a roll of thunder

Fill yours eyes and your ears with wonder

And give your heart the strength to try again



But sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours

Sometimes an angel come knocking on your door

Though it's hard to tell through a long dry spell

That the clouds above are ever gonna break

But sometimes it rains



Let it flood the valley of your need

And give you back a reason to believe

Through it's hard to tell, through a long dry spell

That the clouds above are ever gonna break



But sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours

Sometimes an angel come knocking on your door

Though it's hard to tell through a long dry spell

That the clouds above are ever gonna break

But sometimes it rains, sometimes it rains

Sometimes it rains.
