The Rain

Denver

Chicago



It's such a long long train ride

It's such a long lonely ride back home



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



It's not that we gotta do what we do

It's what we know

So to me it ain't nothing but being true

But..



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



It doesn't have to be the way it is

You say it is

Just because for the past 20 years

Everyday it is (WhAt?)



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



I won't even be able to walk out my front door

Without worrying about coming to conflict with the law

Cuz



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



If I follow him, they'll follow me

And I'll speak life into the words that you can see

Cuz



Now I know (c'mon)

Only I can stop the rain



We get away with it everyday shit

But everyday shit catches up with you

And when it does you can't say shit



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



If I don't, you will

What I won't, you still

What makes us feel like we gots to kill

When



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



How many more lives must we lose

How many more times must we choose

To trust these fools



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I gave it to you straight, don't mix it

Twist it (what) up for some slick shit



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



I don't have to talk to it anymore

I don't have to walk to it anymore

I'm out the door (what)



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



I wanna find peace with the lord

I don't wanna find the peace with the sword

I can't afford to



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



When everyday of my life

Is just a constant fight

Between wrong and right



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



I thank you lord for my life

I thank you lord for keeping it loose when things got tight



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



Only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the pain



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



Only I can stop the rain, stop the rain

yeah

Only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain because the rain calls on me



Now I know

Only I can stop the rain



Only I can stop the rain
