Ever since there was thunder
There´s been shelter from the storm
A place to run for cover
Till the rain clouds had moved on
Now when I get that feeling

Before the first drop hits the ground
I´m asking, "Who´s gonna stop the rain from falling down?"

Wherever there´s a soldier
Who won´t give up the fight
Wherever there´s a darkness
That´s trying to find the light
Wherever there is hurting
There is healing on the way
Like sunshine breaking through a cloudy day

Let it rain, let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Who´s gonna stop the rain from falling down?

Maybe someday eyes won´t judge you
By the bed you´re sleeping in

The God you want to pray to
Or the color of your skin
When priests and politicians
Sell the truth and nothing more
That day we´ll know what all of this was for

Let it rain, let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Who´s gonna stop the rain from falling down?

These ain´t pretty pictures that we´re keeping in the cloud
Outside a storm is raging
Just take a look around

Somewhere there´s forgiveness
For the broken ones like me
Who once stared down mighty mountains

And now sit beneath the trees
And somewhere there´s a church bell
That´s summoning the choir
Somewhere there´s a dreamer
Who would walk 1, 000 miles
Somewhere there´s a dreamer
Who would walk 1, 000 miles

Let it rain, let it rain
Let the rain fall all around
Who´s gonna stop the rain from falling?
If you´re out there, Christ I´m calling
Who´s gonna stop the rain from falling down?
