Someone told me long ago 

There's a calm before the storm,

When it's over, so they say, 

It'll rain a sunny day,

I know; shinin' down like water.



[Chorus:] 

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain



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; it can't stop, I wonder.



[Chorus:]



Yeah!



[Chorus:]
