Such a long long dreamed
Such a long long time before
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 nuttin but bein 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, every day it is
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I wanna be able to walk out my front door
Without worryin about comin in conflict with the law, cause
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
If I follow Him, they'll follow me
And I'll speak life into the word that you can see
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
We get away with everyday shit, but everyday shit
catches up to 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, when I won't, you steal
What makes it feel like we gots to kill?
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 up on some slick shit
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I don't have to talk to it any more
I don't have to walk to it any more, I'm out the door
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I wanna find peace with the Lord
I don't wanna find a beast with the sword, I can't afford to
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
When every day of my life
Is a constant fight between wrong and right
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
I thank you Lord for my life
Thank you Lord for keepin 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, yeahh
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
Only I can stop, the rain, stop, the rain, yeahh - WHAT?
... GRRRR, only I (only I) can stop (can stop) the rain (the rain)
Only I can stop the rain, cause the rain falls on me
Now I know, only I, can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
