Someone told me long ago
   There's a calm before the storm
   I know - it's been coming for some time
   When it's over so they say
   It'll rain a sunny day
   I know - shining 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
   'till forever, on it goes
   Through the circle fast and slow
   I know - and 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
