Little darling, don't you cry
Even California's cold sometimes
We can make it, we gotta try
Baby, I believe in California rain

Yeah, let me take you back
Before the lights, before the crowd
Before we made a sound
All I wanted was to make my mother proud
She told me, "son, we're from the silent town
No one ever makes it out"

Before we created, before they hated
Before anyone anticipated
We just wanna make it
They said "you're crazy
Nothing's ever changing"
So I packed up all my things
And headed out towards the ocean

In my imagination California's waiting
To take me by the hand, say "hello
I'm so glad you finally made it"
Here comes the rain

Little darling, don't you cry
Even California's cold sometimes
We can make it, we gotta try
Baby, I believe

Summer's waiting on the other side
There's no limit, we can touch the sky
Baby, I believe in California rain

It's been a long time coming
A long road running
You know what I'm saying
If you ever wanted something

So bad that you can taste it
Can't sleep until you make it
And you know when you got it
No one else can ever take it

When I met her she was easy
She never wanted nothing
Just something to believe in

When the song starts venting
Comes all the tribulation
When the sky starts fading
You just gotta recreate it

In my imagination California's waiting
To take me by the hand, say "hello
I'm so glad you finally made it"
Here comes the rain

Little darling, don't you cry
Even California's cold sometimes
We can make it, we gotta try
Baby, I believe

Summer's waiting on the other side
There's no limit, we can touch the sky
Baby, I believe in California rain

California rain, in California rain
California rain, yeah

Everything ain't what it seems
California rain on me
Everything ain't what it seems
California rain on me
Everything ain't what it seems
California rain on me
Everything ain't what it seems
California rain
