Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm. 
I know, and it's been comin' for some time. 
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day. 
I know, shinin' 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. 
'Til 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?
