There's no rose without a thorn
No rain without a storm
There is no laughter without tears
No wisdom without years
In a world gone crazy
Torn between the roads that we must choose
Win or lose
If every soul should lose its way
If every face should lose its name
Tell me - who's gonna stop the rain?

Each day another boy and girl
Set foot into this world
One reaches out to touch the sky
One never learns to fly
Where is it written in the stone
That any child should walk alone
Out on their own?
If no one tries to end this game
Or find a way to ease the pain
Tell me - who's gonna stop the rain>?

How many rivers must we cross before we learn
That the flood is rising higher and our bridges all have burnt
Each time another dream is washed out to the sea
It's another piece of you, it's another piece of me

Sure as the blood runs through your veins
Sure as the falling rain
We'll taste the tears of each defeat
The bitter and the sweet
As the days grow colder
Wondering if we'll ever see the sun
When winter comes
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Tell me who's gonna stop the rain

If every soul should lose its way
If every face should lose its name
If no one tries to end this game
Or find a way to ease the pain
Who's gonna stop the rain
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Tell me who's gonna stop the rain
